Walk to Emmaus
On Thursday this past week I was getting ready in the morning and thinking of taking my friend up to Blue lake that afternoon for her walk to Emmaus..Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual retreat for 4 days and it's a time to grow closer to God ..I haven't been to Emmaus in 7 years since it reminded me of my father as he used to go up and help and was very involved and there were too many memories (good but difficult if you know what I mean)...I was thinking /praying about if God was going to reveal to me a rainbow as he showed one to me on before my walk in 2012 (over my house) and then a little rainbow cloud on my dad's walk (2013)and then a big rainbow over the Gator Cafe before my mom's walk (in 2013). Well when I got to bible study on Thursday Jen had earrings I had gifted her and she said she wanted to wear them since I was sponsoring her and they are rainbow colors!Jen also had a shirt on with a heart on front and on the back talks about how God loves us.. We then started listening the video from the bible study "Luke in the Land"..we were on the last day about the Gospel of Luke in Israel and how she went to different sites which brought me back to the time I was in Israel myself in 2017. It really is a powerful bible study..so she said and for the last site we are going to the "Road to Emmaus"..what??? I was instantly overcome by the Holy Spirit where I felt warm all over and was just crying not out of sadness but how GREAT our God is and the signs he is ALWAYS giving...It's kinda like the 2 on the road to Emmaus where they met Jesus but failed to recognize him but then their eyes were opened!!!
We then went to Blue Lake that afternoon completly filled with the Spirit and when I got there a sea of memories came flooding back in a good way..Jen happened to know the check in guy whom was her boss in the AF at one time ...and then I was just standing there and A guy said "Hey i'm so and so and I knew your dad...we worked together at Hurlburt Field and I also was at your wedding...". WOW...Him and his wife were sponsoring a girl that happened to be Jen's roommmate!! I also got to see a girl I haven't seen in foreever..probably about 7 years that was on my walk so many years ago..It truly all was such a blessing!
