Resting in HIM...................Remembering the flight home from China



Psalm 34:11



Come, my children, and listen to me,and I will teach you to fear the Lord.


I trying my best to have sustaining Faith.  Faith that will up-root trees and move mountains.  I have stories of many moments and circumstances that only God could create.  More miracles already in my life time than many people ever experience in a life time.  I need to be grateful and rest in the day, not consumed by what is to come and how we will get there.  My dreams are huge so large that I know in my own strength they will never come true.  They can only come true from heaven above.

  I have to remember that not long ago on a plane traveling home from Guangzhou I brought home a new son that spoke no English.  The night before we left the White Swan hotel in Guangzhou China I became dizzy and fell down marble stairs.  The result many bumps,bruises, and a sprained ankle.  We were flying United home and it is so cramped and crowded not optimal for a sore leg and ankle.   We were just glad to be heading home after 2 weeks in China, fun but time to go home.  Little did I know the surprise waiting on the plane for me.  I was seated next to a nice Chinese lady originally from Guangzhou, China  a city of 10 million people.  To make a long story short  this lady from China now lived where????Great Falls, Montana and we knew people in common.  A town up in northern Montana surrounded by only the wild and ranches.  What are the chances meeting some in China and now lives where we loved to live????We talked almost the entire flight home.  She translated for me with Elijah, took him to the bathroom, eased his fears so perfectly.  She let me stretch my hurting leg and foot on to her side for more room. A true gift from God to surprise me that he was thinking of me.  Only the God of the universe can surprise us with a gift that we could never even imagine.  Fourteen hours can seem like an eternity sitting next to someone.  How can I doubt that he will remember our plans and dreams.  I just wait and see what miracle unfolds.

Lamentations 3:25

The Lord is good to those who depend on him,to those who search for him.

Missouri River-Great Falls Montana



The Missouri River running through a state that has a population of less than 1 million.  Two rivers a world apart and two people meeting in the skies. Nothing is by chance.................
