She Helped

             You know how in movies, people in big cities line the streets holding out tin cups praying for someone to feel remorse and drop at least a quarter in. And nobody pays any attention to them. It seems so easy to just pass by someone and not have pity on them. Or at least that is how the movies make it seem. But that's just what you see in the movies, I've experienced the real thing.
             About two weeks ago I was walking out side the gym and I saw a young girl curled up in a ball just outside the doors in front of the gym. I was so tired from practice, every muscle in my body ached. My stomach was growling so loud, that anyone standing three feet from me could have heard it. When I saw the girl I kept on walking, but then something came over me. I gave her a second look, to make sure she was really there and I wasn't just hallucinating from hunger. I noticed tears streaming down her face. It seemed that she was trying to hide herself. She wasn't completely hidden for I could see her. My heart connected with hers and started pulling me towards her, and my exhausted body pulled me toward my car so I could go home and rest. It was as if my heart and body were in a game of tug-a-war. I could go either way, but I wasn't sure of the "right" way. "It is none of your business", I told myself, as I dragged my legs to reach my car. I had let my body win, and now I felt as if a huge weight had been dropped on my heart. My fingers were trembling as I desperately tried to open the door of my Honda. "God, why am I feeling this way, it's really not that big of a deal". I just kept asking myself that question over and over.
             God has blessed me with the gift of discernment, and I could fully understand that the girl needed my help. For some unknown reason, I felt that there wasn't any way I would help her. I felt that I needed help myself. About one week ago there was an "accident"...
