Experiencing God (4)

And the joy is, when God moves, we are left to be stricken amazed and praising Him. We processed our visa and government documents last October 12 and we got to the place on the eve of October 15. Between those days, obstacles may block our ways but we were just simply amazed at how time after time, God’s provisions came perfect and exactly in time.

Few hours before our flight to Manila, we were still facing government officers and racing for ships or buses to get to another island to just get our papers done. And while at the international airport waiting for the flight to China, my family and friends would even call or ask me “Are you really flying now? Have you got enough for the plane ticket? Are you sure today and not next week? I thought you’re still processing those papers?”

Questions of amazement and wonder that not even I perfectly knew how it all came to pass. And for this, God deserves all the glory. I am indeed grateful for the people and team He uses to serve. Even on being at wherever first is His wise guidance and loving provision on having us see first hand on how the work is being done. It’s His work and for sure He wants it done His own time, ways and purposes.

For the work ahead, it’s going to be an exciting adventure because it’s moment by moment by His grace, presence and sustenance alone. It’s a new place. We are humbled and privileged to be the trailblazers, and may we be found faithful, all because of Him alone.

Claiming and standing on Isa 46:11 and Ps 2:8.

To God be all glory!
