Tale of an Unexpected Encounter

Dear Diary,
I know that I have neglected you, and that there are many updates due. However, this story takes the cake.

The scene: The Sutter Creek Ice Cream Emporium

The time: 5 minutes until I lock the door for the last time.

The characters: Myself, a nice man named Joe, his lady friends Wendy and DeeDee (my apologies on the spelling), and a pretty awesome Higher Power

A nice man named Joe (he was wearing a nametag) came in with two nice ladies, Wendy and DeeDee, right before I locked up last night. Joe wanted to know my name, didn't believe me when I told him (that's okay Joe, I get that a lot), and we got to talking about school. Naturally, I told them about my impending adventure, and they were all very interested, especially when I mentioned "Holy Spirit University" (it was about this time that I noticed that Joe was wearing a "work and witness" polo). By the end of their visit, these three beautiful people not only blessed me with a scholarship (which will be going towards Malaria inhibitors), but also asked to pray over me.

The whole exchange was a pleasant reminder that I am in bigger and more capable hands than my own. Thank goodness.
