Six Days Alone

Six days alone. Compound fractures in both legs. Trapped in the car and throwing her shirt in a creek next to where she landed for sipping water.

The world is right there, up the hill, unable to save her.

She was alone with only her pain...

the creek..

and God.

I can imagine my own prayers in such a scenario...

Day one... Regret

Day two.... Hope

Day three.... Negotiation

Day four.... Resignation

Day five.... Prayers for others

Day six.... Full surrender

On the 6th day she was found.

I don't know her... but I read the article and I went on the inner journey with her, through the pain, the prayers, her kids getting the phone call that their mom was found....

It is only on the journey within, that we can truly understand the journey without.

and lots of conversations with Jesus.
