Strangers and new friends, seeking God

First, we had a definite turnaround - blinker and slowdown, and then a reversal of thought. The car drove off!

Second, was the appearance of a young lady named Rachael who happened to drive by and decided to join us, on a whim! She hails from West Lafayette and was in town to teach a ballet class. Having a couple hours to kill in between obligations and happening upon our location, she stopped to participate because I "reminded her of her best friend's dad who she really looks up to". Indeed, God works in mysterious ways!

Additionally, there was a high school-aged couple who arrived in a Mustang as patrons. They were in visible distress, and the girl, especially, seemed tortured with her "predicament". It struck me as a situation where the popular jock gets together with the good looking gal and the "fun" relationship ends in a pregnancy, and guy pressures girl into abortion. If there is any way to broadcast a request for prayer particular for these two, please relay the sentiment. Their misled desperation struck my heart poignantly and I begged God to intercede.
