Great ride to Hearthrow

Sat next to Sharon Hoover of Woodstock, WV who was on her way to the Holy Land. She's probably in her 60's. We had an awesome conversation for a few hours. She and her husband were in a car accident a few years ago. He died, she was in a coma for two weeks, lost her right eye, and got her neck really messed up. While in a coma she said God spoke to her to let her know that her husband was gone and she would be okay. She has become more dedicated to her faith and is making a Holy Land pilgrimmage. BUT her last big trip was to Kaijaida, Kenya where she helped at a school for a few weeks. What are the odds? She said that if I can make my way there I am supposed to say hello to Rose.

I was supposed to sit next to a seemingly less interesting man but the girl next to Sharon wanted my seat so she could sit by her friend. I agreed figuring that one stranger is as good as the next. I felt a real connection with Sharon and I really appreciated her story.

It is also significant that the group I am travelling on behalf of, Fruit of the Vine International, was started to honor Stella Standifer's late husband Glenn. How interesting to meet along the way another widow who also honors her husband's memory as she pursues God's plans for her life.
