Bumble Bee Part One



I went to a retreat with my church last month and during it we were told to be silent and just sit somewhere and listen to God for one hour. I went off of a path and found a cliff where I could be by myself with no man made things in sight. I sat that for a couple of minutes waiting for something to happen, I didn't really know what to expect. All of a sudden there was this bee buzzing around and, I am very freaked out by bees. The bee buzzed around me in circles and I prayed to God to protect me and not let it sting me, and also for it to go away. Shortly after I prayed that prayer the bee left and I sat back down on the most comfortable rock I could find, which wasn't that comfortable. Then suddenly something yellow buzzed around me and it landed on my shoulder. I turned slightly and saw a yellow ladybug, I've never seen a yellow ladybug before and took it as God telling me, "I love you and will protect you." God wants to protect us, He wants us to run into His loving arms. All we have to do is trust Him, which at least for me, is the hardest part.
