Post Saved by a phone call

Just a few years ago my brother was in a very deep state of depression. He had made plans to kill himself and he said that nobody and nothing could stop him.
Somehow he managed to get his hands on some of grandpa's heart and blood pressure pills.
He was planning on suicide by overdose.
As he put his hand up to his mouth to swallow the pills, the phone rang.
He answered it and it was a female voice on the other line.
She said "Please don't do what you have planned. God has BETTER plans for you in your life. He has plans to make you a great man." After saying this, she hung up.
My brother then broke down weeping. He called me to come over. I did.
I flushed the pills down the toilet as soon as I got there.
He told me about the phone call.
I looked on the caller ID to confirm his story and there was a call received around the time he said it happened. I called the number back to give a simple "Thank You."
I called, and we got a recording. It said that this number is not a working number.
We called the operator and I gave her the number and she said that the number has NEVER been a working number. It's never been registered.

Isn't that amazing?

He had since then committed his life to the Lord.

Hi, I find that almost unbeleivable! If people like you give out true stories like this, it will make others believe more and more. I know want to belive more in god than anything. It what people like me want to hear. Yes I do think that things are meant to be. Ive just been around to my neighbours and feel good, I like yoiur brother get abit anxious about things, mainly becasue Ive just endured years of abuse from a neighbouir in the old area I Lived. I have now moved and would love to settled. I think God does hear our cries, and I really wish your brother very well. Lots Of Love Mandy xx
