Life....

We saw her, Monday August 2nd on Foxes Bottom Road as we were driving to Cadiz. My husband guessed that perhaps she was a homeless runaway. As I stared at her petite build and dark wavy hair, I silently disagreed. She was fully dressed complete with hiking gear and backpack. This girl who looked to be in her late 20's didn't quite fit the atypical description of a troubled teen. We didn't stop to offer her ride (together as we would normally do), because she appeared to be fully focused and aware of her journey. My "inner voice" seemed to whisper, "Let her be!" so I whispered a silent prayer that God and the Saints protect her.

I didn't know that day, that this girl would end her evening in Adena at the Hosenfeld home. They didn't know who she was when they spotted her in their back yard so they went out to meet her.

Thirty-four year old Anne-Marie Michel explained her expedition as an American Prayer Pilgrimage. She resides in France and is careered in radio. Her journey began after visiting relatives in Quebec, Canada and she hopes to complete her destination by foot to Mexico City at the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. She prays especially for unborn babies while walking for life about twenty-five miles a day through America. Anne-Marie asked Hosenfelds that evening if she could set up a tent in their yard so they invited her inside welcoming her to dinner and shelter.

Anne-Marie told Tammy that she was called to the Hosenfeld home by her inner voice, or interlocution that can be attained only through deep prayer. Tammy manages Wellspring, a teen pregnancy crisis center.

Good works are links that form a chain of love. Mother Teresa
