Yesterday was an interesting interruption to my training. I was hiking around the local Greenway path that runs through our town when I came upon a young man in distress. As I slowed down to greet him, he called to me, asking for help. He was about to have a seizure and needed someone to stay with him when he fell. Thankfully, I had learned about seizures and knew what to do. The rest of my hike was spent getting him back to his apartment and settled in.
The interesting thing is that I had been praying about all the people that I would meet along the trail in my upcoming hike. I was praying for my special friends at the Riverwood home as I walked, as well as for the new special needs friends that I would meet along the way. Suddenly, I was faced with a real life friend in need that changed the course of my day.
I'm looking forward to the days on the trail, where each morning can begin with the prayer, "What do you have in store for me today, God?" Yesterday was a little reminder that I don't have to wait for a hike in the mountains to have my steps directed by God.
It's all a part of the Journey!
