It wasn't a dream, vision or deja'vu it was more like a "vibe" but I'm glad I listened (although it has kept me up all night thinking about it)
Here's the "gist" of it though... since I'm working nights now the only time I can really get out is on the weekend, so I did. I went up to Mason City to do some shopping since our cupboards are basically empty with nobody ever home anymore.
Anyhow, I was headed over to the meat section and there was an elderly lady standing and serving pizza samples, I really wasn't interested so I just walked passsed the crowd and contined over towards the direction I was going.
to explain a little more - Yesterday was a madhouse there, if you've ever went to the day after Thanksgiving sale then just imagine the same picture - I got there and there were absolutely NO carts and the place was wall to wall packed
I really can't explain it any other way, but the "vibe" just seemed to hit me. I felt really weird for a minute and then for no reason I can think of I walked back over to the sample lady and just said "Hi, it's really crowded here today" then I started to walk away.
The lady "MaryAnne" stopped me, and that simple comment turned into standing and talking with her until she finished doing her samples (3 hours later) she wouldn't let me leave. And honestly I can't even say what we talked about because I don't think there was any specific topic.
But when her samples were gone I told her that I needed to get going and went to walk away again. But instead she grabbed me and hugged me and kissed my cheek. Then looked at me and said, "you don't know how much I needed you today, until you came and said Hi I was planning on going home and ending my life"
Honestly I didn't know what to say to her, and I almost felt guilty about needing to leave. I had to leave quick because I knew I was ready to cry, and I really didn't want to do that but I didn't want to just leave her either. Mixed emotions are strange that way.
But I managed to give her a hug in return and tell her that if God brings you to it, he'll also bring you through it. And that the old saying is true that to the world you may be 1 person, but to 1 person you may be the world.
And that's what I thought to myself afterwards - that at that time I guess I was the world. But I'm still in a state of confusion, I hope that she IS ok and I know that I'll be watching for her now everytime I go up there and hoping to see her handing out pizza or whatever.
And I can honestly say that I'll be walking up to talk to her when I see her. So I guess my rambling on is also a statement of a couple things.... 1st - Listen to those vibes, they do have a reason. And 2nd, to all of you, remember that at any given time someone is thinking of you and you might be their "world"
I never really thought of that in quite the same way as I do now, but with my experience from this encounter, I'll never forget it either.
Have a good week everyone, (((((HUGS))))) to you all
