His leading...

In the mornings when I prayer walk I usually follow the same path each day. But, this morning I told God that I wanted to be open to His leading as I walked, to walk where He wanted me to, when He wanted me to. This was so fun! At times I felt like He had me walking in the same area, like in circles. But, at each step that He led me, I ran into someone and was able to talk to them or give them a hug. He had our paths cross at the perfect time, where if I was walking the normal way and timing that I usually do, I wouldn't have ran into them. These were some of the people who He gave me a chance to interact with;

• A 16 year old boy who has major walls every time I see him. I was able to give him a hug and tell him that I love him.
• A 15 year old boy who usually has some kind of attitude towards me. I was able to ask him how he was doing and show him affection.
• A 22 year old young man who I've never met. I was able to invite him to lunch today when I cook for the guys.
• I was looking to buy honey and went to both of the corner stores, neither of them sold it. But while I was there I able to show kindness and respect to the store owners. One of them is most likely Muslim.

I believe these encounters tore down the walls a little bit more and gave me a connection with these individuals. Thank you God for His leading!
