I had an amazing experience that happened today
that came from a prompting of the Spirit. We were walking past this house to go
past the street, and we saw some younger looking couples talking at their door
step, I started to walk up and then they started to yell at each other, we
kinda stopped awkwardly for a moment in the middle of their drive way, and
started back for the road. I didn't want to add to the reason for them yelling
at each other than to us. So as we started back to our other place, I then felt
the strong push to go up to that house and talk to them. At first I thought,
naw, that's just my wanting to try and help (FYI haha, that was my first hint
that the Spirit was trying to give me, never be afraid to help and be nice) and
where I would end up causing more trouble, I don't want to be that person who
is sticking his nose in other people’s business, so I tried to push it aside,
but then It came back even stronger and I then knew what was happening. I knew
we needed to go and talk to these people, I told my companion this and he was
like, oh man I hope we don't get those beer bottles thrown at us. So I started
to walk up and I was like, breath, that's the key, breath haha. When we
approached, one of the Couples went inside calling out of few words and shut
the door, and the guy was standing at the porch, looking down. I said, hello
and we asked if he needed any help with the car part he had in his hand. He
looked up at me for a moment and started to laugh, and said no, but thank you.
We ended up talking to him for a bit and he told us what was happening. I asked
him if we could say a prayer with him before we leave, and he said he would
like that. I remember praying for him and his family, and other things that came
to my mind during the prayer. As we walked away, I knew what we just did was
what the Lord wanted us to try and do. I don't think we’ll really ever see him
again, but we stopped and gave him comfort and helped lift him up in his time
of need.
