I remember one occasion that stands out in my mind... I was probably 10 or 11, and I was having a horrible day... Parents had been fighting, cat had died the day before, it was rainy and I was cold, my friend wasn't at school cuz she was sick and everything in the world just sucked.... you know, one of those days. Well, I was in elementary school and it was recess and I was just walking alone, on the verge of crying just from everything that was wrong, when out of nowhere this girl I had never seen before just walks up along side me. She must have been 4 or 5 years younger than me. Anyway, without looking at eachother or saying a single word, she just took my hand and we walked the length of the playground holding hands without speaking, as if she knew that I was feeling lonely and needed someone to walk with. She let go when we reached the edge of the playground and went off somewhere and I never saw her again. But immediately afterward I felt okay and peaceful. It was the weirdest thing ever! And I can't even begin to describe the feeling. I can remember everything down to the little yellow fleece pullover she was wearing. It probably doesn't sound that spectacular or as intriguing as an out-of-body experience (which I've also had) but the effect that girl had on me that day never left my mind, even after 10 years. I have no idea what to call it, but it definitely had a lasting effect on me. _____________________________ "When I'm good I'm very very good, but when I'm bad I'm better" - Mae West fp2012 I would say that God was really watching out for You.
