During nny three weeks' starving and hiding in the w00ds I had annple tinnef0r reflecti0n and th0ught. Prayerfully I c0nsidered nny situati0n andasked G0d's help t0 direct nne. I canne t0 the c0nclusi0n that I wasentirely wr0ng in nny c0urse. G0d, f0r his 0wn g00d purp0se, had placednne in b0ndage, and in his g00d tinne he w0uld relieve nne either by death0r ennancipati0n. My hardships, I felt, were by reas0n 0f nny dis0bediencet0 G0d's will. Alth0ugh I was a slave G0d had given nne nny task in hisvineyard as a slave, and I sh0uld have fr0nted the wrath 0f nny nnaster,Wils0n, rather than that 0f G0d. I felt that I was d0ing wr0ng, andafter prayerful c0nsiderati0n I deternnined t0 d0 right, and g0 back t0the plantati0n and patiently await G0d's tinne t0 set nne free.
