Ok, here is a little story for you all 🤗🌞💛
On Saturday we went to a hospital therapy place to visit one of our friends recovering there. It kind of sounded scary to me, but it was actually really beautiful out in the woods and pretty. We parked the car at this random spot next to the gate into the center and just walked right in easy-peezy. We finish our visit which was really wonderful and we're walking back to the car and the gate is closed. And locked. Now this whole therapy centered is locked in by stone wall so it's not really like we could just hop out.
....
Anyways, we ask for directions from this nice guy who says that yes, the gate locks at a certain hour and is always closed after that. And we'll have to walk all the way to the front of the village place and around a side road to get to our car. Hmmmm.
So, we walk. And we get lost two more times before finally making it out of the center and walking all the way back to our car.
When we finally reach our car, we look back at the little gate that had caused us so much grief: and it's wide open.
😶
What did I learn from this? Well, to be honest I'm still thinking about the experience but what stood out to me was first, we were pretty frantic running around to find a way out and we said a rushed little prayer instead of stopping and pausing for an answer. Maybe if we had done that at the beginning we would've been inspired to check the little gate one more time 🤷♀️ and even if that wouldn't have been the case at all, we walked so far when access to what we wanted (little red car) was literally a few meters away.
Do I feel like sometimes God has us take the long road? Yes. Do I feel like sometimes we take the long road because of our own choice and doing? Yes, absolutely.
I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way back to live with our Heavenly Father again😊 it can feel like a long road sometimes, but it's worth every step. And in reality, it's the easiest road and the happiest one.
This week was a little bit of a long road in general. But, I know it's worth it. I see little miracles every day when I look for them and that makes me so, so happy.
I love you all💛 I hope you find many moments of joy in your week.

It's hard to tell but there's one picture showing the little gate from the car and the other one is showing the red car when I stood in the entrance of the gate :)
We grilled today for p-day, yum. Dad, they were nothing like your burgers, but for the Czech Republic, not bad.
The weather has been soooo warm. I went tight-less for the first time since Hawaii this week😲😲
