The other day i was walking to work by myself. as usual it was a hot and dry day, the fifteen minute walk felt long and never ending. There is one part of our walk everyday that sometimes we dread because its a fairly steep hill especially in the heat.
As i walked up it that particular day i had dreaded it more than most days, i began the, what felt like trek up the mountain, a little girl that i had never seen before came running up to me and immediately grabbed my hand. Shocked, because kids dont ever do this to a mzungu walking along the road. From the bottom of the hill to the very top she held my hand, walking along side me until we reached the top, she let go and slowly walked right behind me until i reached our work compound.
In that not so significant earthly moment, i knew God had designed that for a heavenly meaning. God knows that the way i best see and understand Him is through moments like these.
In that moment i was reminded that, God never abandons us, sometimes it may feel like He is very distant but He is standing right behind us, testing our faithfulness in Him. he is always there walking the tough climb with us, hand in hand.
Wow, that's must have been cool!
