So, I was awoke this morning bright and early by my neighbor pounding on my door and crying. She apparently got into a fight with her boyfriend and for whatever reason she came to me for help. I calmed and consoled her as well as I could, but in the end I didn't talk to her boyfriend for fear of getting in between a domestic dispute.
I've been pondering this all day and I cannot help but wonder why exactly she came to me. She doesn't know me at all, we've only spoke in polite, social occasions. There is no reason I can think of as to why she thought to come to me, except for one... She knows about my background in Law Enforcement. So I am left wondering, if she came to me because of that, what more is going on next door that makes her feel the need to ask for the protection of someone with that background.
The more I think about it the more I become alarmed and worried. If I intervene then I gain the emnity of her boyfriend. But, if I don't and something really bad happens, then I am guilty of ignoring a cry for help.
Still, this has been placed in my hands for whatever reason, and I feel I must act, regardless of the outcome. I just pray I do God's will.
