Again... WHY?

I do not believe in random encounters. I just don't. There is no such thing as serendipity. Once again my work takes me to places I wouldn't normally go... It was a "special" pass for the hospital patients and we took them there on Friday night. I didn't pick the place ~ it was on the approved list and the staff picked from that list.

Again I ask God, "Why?" Why did I run into HER there? It was awkward to say the least. One of the girls was an AWOL risk. So, on top of the anxiety of seeing HER there, I had to keep a close eye on the girl. She ripped off her hospital "bracelet" and was eying the door. I just took her outside. She didn't have to know it was as much for MY benefit as it was for hers. Outside. Fresh air...

I pointed up to the sky and told her about the North star... How it NEVER changes. It never moves. As long as we are following the TRUTH NORTH, we will never be pulled off our path. I explained to her that MY higher power (God) is MY true north... and that I know He will never change. He will never move.

She didn't AWOL
SHE didn't spot me
and My dad joined the church choir.
