Praying for that pregnant hitchhiker lady...

Song playing:
"Until the End" -Norah Jones

The time has come for me to really start making big life decisions. I'm 23, and ready now to go off on my own, to fly the coop, leave the nest or any other aviary cliché there is about growing up and moving on.

This realization has been one that I've tried not to think about in hopes I would cease to grow or fly past milestones, but alas the time has come.

Ok so that's what's on my mind, anyway, this weekend has been great!

Friday: work til 6 then movies/pizza over at Chris & Ellisha's....Happy Gilmore then Gladiator! :)

Saturday: work til 2 then watched some Hulu and then went over to the Phillips' pre-fireworks, then fireworks, then back over to the Phillips'! :)

So, today, there was a lady, a pregnant lady, on the side of the road hitchhiking...I wanted to give her a ride and help her, but with the world being what it is, I was afraid to pick her up alone. So, I called Jeff Phillips (haha... you may recognize the last name) and picked him to go give her a ride. And by the time we got there, she was gone. I'm hoping someone with a good heart picked her up. I just hope my fear for being accused of misconduct or car jacked ( I know she was pregnant, but a gun can be quite convincing) didn't cause me to miss out on an opportunity to help her.

So, tonight my prayers go out to God for that pregnant lady today. I pray that she is safe and not scared or hurting.

Hmmmm....going to bed, gotta set up for church in the morning. After church we are loading The Beast (the sound system) for Rock Haven. We leave Monday morning at 7:30am. I am so very excited! :)

Alright, goodnight! :)

Prayers welcomed.

Mascot saved by grace.

  2. As a man, God has instilled in your heart the desire to be a protector. It is sad to say in our day and time you can't just charge to the rescue of strangers. You have to use discernment and trust that God will give you the wisdom at the moment of decision. I think you were wise not picking her you...you just don't know. Even with a second passenger you are still vulnerable. Keep her in your prayers, God is her protector...and yours.
