Yesterday, on my last loop around the lake during my power walk/prayer, I passed a lady (Janee) that seemed to be parked just inside the entrance leading up to the resort. Before I got to the other side of the road, I realized (I believe the Holy Spirit moved on me) she might be in trouble. So, I turned around and approached the car, asking her if she was okay. It turned out that Janee was having car trouble and was stuck, and she had no-one to help her. She was just sitting there in her car that refused to budge, together with her two young girls.
The whole situation evolved into a wonderful blessing for Janee. I called Don to come help, and while waiting for her car to cool down, we shared our testimonies with her. The conversation started because of a t-shirt (another t-shirt situation!) that Janee was wearing with what looked like a scripture printed on it. Janee in turn shared that she believes things often happen for a reason, and we ended up praying with her right there to be filled with the Holy Spirit. She received, praying in tongues so beautifully with tears of joy. Janee explained how she felt that a 100-pound burden had been lifted from her; that she felt a kind of happiness and peace that she had never before experienced.
We then borrowed some jumper cables (and got to briefly speak with a Spiritfilled security guard, too!), got the car running, and drove over to our hotel. I made sandwiches, we all ate by the pool, and then Janee was eager to get water baptized to complete her “born again” experience. She was even more joyful afterward - beaming and seeming “light” in spirit. It was wonderful to see. We were able to follow Janee over to her hotel, to make sure she got there safely, and give her some money to help with the repairs, etc.
Oh, interestingly, we got to briefly speak with the security guard because he said to us, “You must be Christians…” when he discovered we had stopped to help Janee and her kids. Praise God!
