I like to be reassured that I’m doing the right thing. I have found myself praying to God for a sign.. am I going in the right direction? Am I supposed to do this? Any time I ask I never really get an answer because deep down I know the right discision I need to make.
On Tuesday’s and Thursday’s, I train by walking 2-3 miles with my pack on. Today I drove from my friend Evanda’s house and I considered not training today. I considered just sleeping in.
Let me just say this. I am so so glad I didn’t skip out.
I was in the middle of walking mile 2 and I was hurtin. I saw out of the side of my eye that someone had slowed down their car and rolled down the window. I look over and this random guy started asking me what I was training for. I explained that I was trying for an 11 month mission trip to South America, Asia, and Europe. He just said that’s awesome, good luck and drove off.
I continued to walk a little bit further down the road and I saw a car approach me in the opposite direction. That same man had turned around and came back. He rolled down his window and was trying to give me something and no it wasn’t candy.
He handed me an envelope and said this is for your mission trip. God loves you and you are doing the right thing.
TALK ABOUT REASURANCE. This man was being used by God to just give me a little boost of confidence. I am doing what he wants me to be doing.
Thank you stranger for your kind words and generous donation. You don’t know how much that meant to me. I pray that God continues to use you.
Today was a good day.
