Shabbos In Tzfat

I usually work on Fridays and can not travel far and usually stay in Yerushalayim. This past Friday (thanks to the Jerusalem Marathon) I didnt have work! I decided (last minute of course) that I really wanted to spend Shabbos in the Holy City of Tzfat. Thursday night I called a friend of mine in Tzfat and asked her if she knew of a place for me to eat and sleep. My friend told me she would make a few calls and get back to me. Friday morning at 10:17 she called me to tell me she had a place for me to sleep but no meals. The last bus leaving from Tzfat to Yerushalyim was at 11:00. I was in Ramot and needed to get to the bus stop which was twenty minutes away. What should I do? Should I just go? But I don't have any meals. But I really wanted to go! I decided to just get on the bus anyways. Hashem's going to help me.
I quickly gathered all my things, threw them into a bag and ran to the bus stop. I got there just in time. I hopped on to the bus on the way to Tzfat, with a place to sleep, and no meals.
An hour into the trip my phone started ringing.
It was my friend in Tzfat!
"Hi Devorah! I found all your meals for you!"
IT'S ALL HP!
Baruch Hashem it was an amazing Shabbos!


(My stop was the last stop in Tzfat. Right before  my bus stop, the driver asked me and another passenger if we minded if he made a short stop at the Egged bus station quickly. We both didn't mind. He went down a road off the bus route to the station. When we were heading back to the main road, we saw a passenger who had just gotten off the stop before, flagging the bus down. -He forgot his hat and Teffilin on the bus. To quote the bus driver "HAKOL M'SHAMAYIM!")
