Sunday

So, I prayed yesterday that I would be able to meet people or a person to have lunch with today... Sundays are meant for eating with people I feel, even in a week of solitude :). Expecting to meet some random "young people" at church ... I was wrong, and pleasantly surprised. 
Sometimes God answers prayers in ways that you just can't make up:


I visited a local church today, a pleasant service however no one my age was to be seen... anywhere...and no random families i knew from someone who knew someone. But I was kind of TOTALLY ok with that..and ready to head home and relax. As I pulled out I saw two backpackers crossing the busy main road (not like york road, or Ridge pike... more like a mini high way with a walmart) Not thinking of lunch plans at all.... just assuming they came from the near by mountains and would love a place to shower, I pulled out and made a U-turn. I had to get gas so I pulled in to the station near where they were and guess who was walking in at the same time as me. Nicole. :)


 I am always intrigued by other people's outdoor adventures so I asked her (looking as though I hadn't set foot in the outdoors in my life being that I was wearing a pink dress with a little flower on it and a white sweater [have YOU ever seen me in a pink dress??? exactly.] hilarious) "Dude did you guys backpack here?!" The answer was Yes, from Nevada! Hitchhiking there way to a festival in NH. WOW. So, they came over the house, took showers and ate lunch. We had a great time, shared food, stories and ideas...and made new friends. They even met my dear friend Nathan from Colorado (via Skype) and then I took them back. 


And that's how I met Ethan and Nicole -- my unexpected lunch buddies. HI GUYS!!!


The next time you find a couple strangers showering/eating in your house...check your calendar-- it's probably Sunday, no one should be alone on Sunday unless they wanna be :-)
