This is just a small step but if it wasn't for God helping me I would have never done it. I was so happy about this and thought I had to share it here. We live right next to this nursing home and assisted living place so for years I walk my dog passed it and pass it again on the way back and always see people in wheel chairs outside, but never thought anything of it.
For the last year or two God has really been trying to get me to go there but I've been SO scared to. There's one specific guy in a wheel chair that always sees me and we make eye contact but neither of us do anything. The least I can do is wave and say hi but I couldn't even do that
I always pray to God to help me do it. I tell God "If someone is out there now I'll say hi" and if there is someone there then I find an excuse to not say hi. But I've been praying harder and harder.
Today I took my dog on a walk and like always I heard God telling me to at least say hi. I get so nervous when he tells me something. So I said "Ok I will say hi this time if someone is out there" and there wasn't, so I was a little relieved. On the way back home I'm looking through the trees if there's anyone there, and there is, it was the guy. I thought it was funny and told God "Nice one" as I was giggling to myself. And I said "Don't worry I will say it this time" And as I looked at him he nodded at me which he's never done before! And I said hi. So I know it's a small step but I could feel God really proud of me:smiley:
