A Worried Walk

Yesterday around 5:00-5:15pm, I decided to go for a little walk.  I told Laura that I was heading out for a walk, and before heading out I went to grab my phone.  Except I couldn't find my phone.  Thinking that it was no big deal, I left.  I took the usual route back into the bush and looped around, which took about a half an hour.  But as I came back up to the spot on the road where I turn back on to our road, I wanted to keep going, I wasn't ready to be done yet, so I kept walking.  I use my walking time to sing, praise, worship and talk to God.  Its really great, and what makes it even better is that while I'm spending more time with Him, I am walking in His creation in it's purest form.   Anyways I kept walking down the road I was on for a few a while.  I made a goal on how where I was planning to walk, though I wasn't certain how long it would take.  Needless to say, I didn't really care how long it took, it just meant more time with God.  So I kept walking.

Back at the Baxter household, supper had started and the Baxter's figured that I was just taking a long walk (they didn't know that I had gone anywhere but the bush).  Well supper came and went I still wasn't back.  I think their parenting instincts kicked in and after a bit, they got a little worried.  They tried calling me, that is until they heard my phone ringing downstairs.  After a couple hours they decided to go and search for me.  Jim and Laura took the motorized scooter and Daniel took his bike and the went searching.  Leah and Julia were out of the house with friends and neither of them had seen me (this whole time I had no idea any of this was going on).

About three hours and fifteen minutes after I left for a walk and just over 11 miles (18km) later, I casually, innocently and unaware of anything, walked up to the Baxter house.  As I was walking up, Julia was coming from the other direction.  We both got to the house about the same time and that is where she informed me of the situation.  She called Laura and told her that I was back.  Once inside, I found a large note (large font that is) on the kitchen counter telling me that if I saw this note to text Jim, Laura, and/or Daniel.  So I sent them a text informing them I was home.

Note to self, don't go on a long walk without a phone in the future....

Anyways while I was on my walk, I was looking up a the beautiful, solid-blue sky half way blanked with clouds, and I saw I perceived as an angel form.  It sat up above one of the clouds just almost floating there.  As I walked along, it slowly moved with the clouds.  I looked down for a bit and when I looked back up it was gone, not a trace left.  I'm not 100% sure, but if I had to guess, I'd say that it was an angel and not just a cloud.  It was a pretty cool experience, yet I am still not sure what the purpose of the experience was.
