A couple of months ago Ruth
and I decided we would join an inter-mission Ladies Retreat which took place
last week. The first night following
some ice-breaker activities, all 50 or so of us were treated to ice-cream sundaes!
As we headed back to our “huts” where we were accommodated, we began
chatting with various ones—we knew only a couple of the ladies. Using my “torch” (flashlight) to light the
way, I and another lady, younger than me, found ourselves walking together. We
began the conversation by asking where we each came from. I was shocked to hear she was from Canada,
and then almost dropped my flashlight when she said she was from “New Brunswick!”
“Really?!” She also could hardly believe
we were both coming from the same province.
That was God’s way for me to begin a great weekend sharing and enjoying
her and other ladies from many points on the globe. Praise God for His surprises and the amazing
way He calls us to follow Him even sometimes to the uttermost parts of the
earth.
LOL! I have a 'small world story' too but will tell you another time! I wouldn't be surprised if I know your lady from New Brunswick too! :) Prayers for the new guests coming and for the Obedience dedication and whatever else God brings to mind. <3

ReplyDeleteWe're now in the throes of that storm system that's delaying the arrival of your guests. Hopefully that means things will be cleared up south of the border so they can be on their way tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSo cool about meeting the lady from NB. Look forward to hearing more details about that. One never knows who God will place in our path.
