A Sign That Led Me to Islam, Alhamdulillah

Assalamu alaikum. I want to share a small story about my journey in Faith, and I apologize if I make any mistakes - I'm still very new to Islam and learning the prayers and practices. I come from a predominantly Catholic country (people even call it THE Catholic country), but I was never very into religion. My family tried to push local religious practices on me when I was a child, and it felt forced, or maybe I just wasn't ready. About a year ago I found a small curious object on the pavement while walking. I didn't know what it was, but I liked it, so I kept it in my car for about eight months. Later, while planning a trip to Turkey for a friend's wedding, I saw a photo of a man praying who had the exact same object in his hand. To my surprise, I realized I had found a misbaha almost a year earlier (I feel bad for whoever lost it…) and had kept it with me all that time. That little thing was the first step toward Islam for me. The connection I felt with it seemed pure, and my curiosity pushed me to learn more. Reading the Qur'an and discovering this beautiful faith gave me new purpose. This was my sign, and it couldn't have come at a better time to change my life forever, alhamdulillah. I’d love to hear your thoughts - please share them, I'm grateful for any advice or experiences.
