Arrived here in UK 3 days ago now and time has been busy. Have been staying with friends, recovering from jet lag, 'mannying' (helping serve the family with household work, time with the kids, etc). Visited central London for a day and connecting and visiting with couple of contacts related to ministry among the travelers.
While walking to the train station 2 days ago to catch the ride to city centre, we 'happened to'pass by a Christian bookshop - several books were displayed in the shop window - one of which was the song book used by New Wine conference. This is the same conference referred to in the last blog post with which we were heading to, the one we felt God leading us to attend and with which we have been registered for, for several weeks already!!! Again, is this God's leading that we are on track with His plan, His itinerary. Even friend of the friends we've been staying with, are attending the same conference this week!
So what is ahead? What will result as we attend this conference? How will with what happens here and with whom we will get to meet and know, determine or affect the travels that lie ahead and what happens? We are looking forward in faith to see what happens. So, for now...the journey continues. I sensed God 'speaking' through some things I read from the Bible a few days ago, when first arriving here in the UK from the first book of Samuel from the Old Testament. Will 'see' and discover if this is significant.
On another note - a I was taking the city train to the airport in Vancouver to catch my flight to the UK, 3 stops before the airport, a man walks on to the train, sits opposite me - and I knew him! I first met him perhaps 6 years ago while working in a wilderness park as a 'ranger'. Then 3 weeks ago, while driving out of that same region 700 km away by road), I stopped off at a new tourist information kiosk to drop off some brochures for the company I work seasonally with, and this man 'happened' to walk in at that time also! Next time I am around in the area where he lives, I will plan to visit him.
What does God have planned in these coming days? Until next time
