If you go through all of my facebook pictures, you will notice that I wear a necklace that has the face of a compass...it was a gift from my "big brother" david, about five years ago. I wear it almost constantly, and there is a wonderful story behind it. When it was given to me, I was told that it represents God's direction in your life. Like true North, God is the magnetic force that you should choose to allow to guide your path.
Well today I had an older man ask me about it...the conversation went a little something like this:
"Is that a compass you're wearing?"
"Yes" (as i hold it out for inspection)
"That is so intriguing. I have a degree in geography, so things like that catch my eye. It's beautiful"
I thanked him and then proceeded to tell him where it came from and the meaning behind it. He chuckled a bit, and then looked me straight in the eye and said, "You know, when people ask me if they can get me something, or if I need anything, I often reply that I need direction in my life." He chuckled again, and I couldn't help but think, that maybe someone had already planted a seed, and maybe, just maybe, it was my turn to water it.
Its kinda neat, meeting all the people God has put along my path.
