That how my life changed over the period of a phone call from home, my life went from language study and living in Papua New Guinea to booking flights and flying home from trusting God with language study to trusting God with flights booking the best tickets then rearranging en-route .
Why because my father is very sick, I needed to be home to see him and be with my family at this time. My Dad is improving he is awake and eating so that is a big answer to prayer but he is still in intensive care and even if he isn’t in that he will have to be on dialysis for the near future, he will also have to regain his strength after being in bed and sick for so long.
My flight home was fun; it all went well up to Sydney when British airways in their wisdom decided to cancel my flight. God's hand never left me and they got me a flight a bit later that night. I got as far as Dubai and they told me because you don’t have a certain piece of paper you may not be able to get my flight to London so I had to wait till every one boarded and again God was in control he allowed me to get that flight. Got to London late to connect to Belfast but BMI transferred me to the next flight so I got home around 1730 Sunday night from first getting a phone call Wednesday night in PNG. It is amazing how God worked out all the details from the tickets to the individual flights He even allowed me to visit with some old friends (the Burns’) in Cairns Australia. He is good!
Isa 55:8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. Isa 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
Things seem very confusing at the minute but these words do make sense to me our God is over looking and over ruling in all that I am doing and all that is going on in my life and my family’s life I am just going to have to trust my God with all, I know for sure there is nothing I can do about any of this situation it is only our creator God who can do anything. It is a real comfort to know that he is in control and thinking about my day, my family and even me more than the grains of sand (Ps 139:17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.)
Please pray for my Dad.
For a good time with family and friends at home.
Wisdom for the next few months what to do with my time.
Praise God for how He has brought me home and how he got me home.
For how dad seems to be doing better.
Yours in Christ
Geoff
