Day Two & Three

I have spent the last couple of days walking Brooklyn and NYC. So many fun things to do and see here, even in the midst of a multitude of people. Hanging out with my son has been the most wonderful treat...Tired feet, body and all.

A very interesting thing happened today. While at the HUGE Apple Store, on 5th Avenue, my tired feet and body demanded to sit, I found an empty space near the stairs. As I was beginning to sit, a man turned to me and said, "Plenty of room--have a seat." I said, "Thanks," I sat and detected an accent from this kind and jolly man. Found out he was from New Zealand. We shared what brought us to NYC and where we were going from here. He is an Assembly of God Pastor on a speaking and mission's tour that is taking him around the world. I shared with him my story.

You see, in case you did not know, I am traveling to Europe to research and learn more about the Huguenots, Maria Durant and Corrie ten Boon. Lord willing, the research will turn into a book. As I shared my story with him, this man I did not know, laid his hands on me and prayed. Right there in the middle of the very busy Apple Store. Loved that. Loved his boldness. Loved that even though we did not know one another--God had set up a divine appointment for us to meet--and now I know of a brother in the Lord from New Zealand.

God always provides what we need--when we need. Amen!
