Once on the market I met my friend who was my ex-colleague and we decided that we will go for a walk together. We were walking in the forest to see if we could find few mushrooms. We found a lot of them and were talking a lot.
When we had a basket full of mushrooms, we realized that we did not know how to come back. Our youngest sons were with us, so I sent Radko to check out if there is any way out of the forest in the direction which I thought was right. We stayed on the path which we were following for a while on our way through the forest and waited there for Radko. He came back after a moment and said that this way goes just deeper into forest. In my heart, I felt fear and anxiety. But I started to pray to the Holy Spirit and asked Him to show me the way and to lead us out of the forest. At the same time I was asking the Holy Spirit: “My dear Holy Spirit, how will you make this work?” I have no clue where we are and which direction we should go to. We don´t have any phone signal, so we can´t use maps. It is already evening and we have no time to go around and try to find a way. And I really don´t know where we are.
I asked Radko to pray as well and at the same time I started to praise God and thank Him for finding a way for us even though I didn´t see a solution. He has it and will give it to us! We decided to follow the forest path and go to the place where we entered the path. Janka tried to use maps in her phone but she didn´t have sufficient signal, therefore we didn´t know if the information phone gives is safe to use. As we were walking, the path suddenly splited into 3 directions. We needed to choose the right way. I had a feeling that one of them seems familiar to me. We chose to follow that way. But in a while, I could feel that this path is turning the wrong way. We were not brave enough to go away from the path. I looked to the deep forest around us and suddenly I could see some light coming through the trees. Radko and Miško went to see if the ending of the mountain forest is there – where the light comes from. In a short time, they told us to follow them.
I was filled with joy, happiness and thankfulness because we finally came out of the forest and we appeared at the field, where the Sun was shining upon us. Even though I still didn´t know where we are, Janka and Radko recognized the place. After I saw transmitter, I realized that I also know and that we were very close to our car.
I began to thank God and was truly amazed how great He is. He solved our situation upon all my expectations. When I feel like I don´t know anything and when I think that it isn´t worth to use the time for me, He still leads me. He showed me how beloved and valuable I am for Him. He does not give up on me and He is teaching me to do the same and to always trust Him in everything. I am grateful and joyful in God of my salvation.
