just about finished our time at my older sister Sue and her husband Keith and the kids Jessica [Jessicar] and Andrew [Andrew-burger] and had a really great few days culminating in a thanksgiving feast and games and chilling [and a ride on the harley] and leaving tomorrow which feels way to soon, but was definitely a great time of being able to completely relax and recharge and be spoilt a lot.
picked up the visitor’s book to write a brief note [let’s be honest – way more likely to be lengthy tome] and paged back to my two previous visits when they still lived in L.A. and this paragraph jumped out at me [2006 i think it was, first visit]:
“Just personally I have needed this time away so much to reconnect with God & have His current mission and my heart for SA strongly confirmed in my heart… but He also put American young people strongly on my heart a few years ago and so whether just via the inet or in person some time, I do think that chapter has some more to it.”
5 years later and i am living and ministering alongside my beautiful wife Val [tbV] at the Simple Way in Philadelphia with a heart and leaning towards the young people in the community, despite having grown up not the biggest of fans of americaland as i call it…
for I AM know the plans…

wow. i know i shouldn’t be surprised by God’s timing, but those kind of stories always knock me over. “For I know the plans I have for you.” 🙂
