A question for all...

I'm not sure where to start with this but I wanted to see if any of you here have any opinions on this subject.
There are very few people I have told this too because I never thought it needed to be discused with just anyone and it's something I do keep more private.
Long story short when I was 21 I was at a crossroads and alot of things hit me like a brick and even though I always went to church with the family and such I truely gave my life over to God. I had to face alot of things I was hiding from myself (anger issues) and it was a painful yet wonderful process-a process I will continue forever. Anyway, at one point that year my best friend who became a Christian before me (had gone through alot of the same issues as me) talked about how she spoke in tongues and how it helped her with her prayer life, she asked if it was okay if she prayed that I would get it since sometimes it's hard for us to find the right words to express how we feel and that's where talking in a heavenly language that we don't even understand comes in. I was like "ok, whatever". The next morning I'm in the bathroom in my regular routine not even thinking about it and like an electricity bolt going from my feet up I was overcome and started babbling on in words I did not understand and it kept spilling out. It surprised me but it did'nt take long before I understood more about it. I'm not even Penecostal or Carismatic or into all that stuff, I'm a regular Prodistant while also believing in the forces of the universe which I also grew up with, things like that are on this board in that spiritual aspect. I still use it to this day every once in a while in private (it's not like anyone would understand it anyway) when I need some peace and don't have the words, I figure God and the angels and spirits know what I'm talking about or feeling.
So, I guess the question I would have for those that may have insight into this...what are your opinions on it? Have you come across anyone else like me that had this that is not into the stereotypical holly roller church? Do you think this is a sign I may be able to pick up on things since this happened to me? It did give me more of a belief boost in spiritual things.

My goodness that was a loaded question. LOL
I have to say, I have never spoke in tongues or never know anyone who really did. Did know a few that claimed they could, but you could tell they were putting it on thick, LOL.. With that said, I do not know a lot about this world, what is what and who is who and what can be done and what will never be. With that said. I wish to tell you, if you believe then it's so. But you really have to believe, you can have no doupt or question. For if you do, then you are not a true believer.
All I know is pray is a very stron force. It save 2 of my daughters lifes when both on their death bed both at different stages in their lifes. One was only 6 weeks old and the other was 12 years old and with her pray brought her back, no joke. I do believe in pray even though I went through a stage in my life where I question myself and a greater power.
Like so many Wiccan's I strongly believe in one true God. I believe his power is stronger than anyone could ever think of. I believe he gives "gifts" to a chosen few. With me it was the gift of knowing what is not seen with the necked eye, with you it just might be a different laungue.
Don't be hurt by this, and I mean it as a joke, but I have trouble with my speach. I was held back in 1st grade due to the fact the teacher could not understand me, yet I was doing 3rd grade work. I took speach classes all through school and collage [needed help with spelling also, LOL]. Anyway there is a lot of times I mean to say one thing and something total different comes out of my mouth, maybe I do speak in tongues? tee hee a bad one.
