oh dear.... here again boozy breath from the pub... oh dear cos was going to a prayer meeting wasn't i? oh dear... am i that antipathetic towards religion that i am viewing folks i love ... just not making it out of the door... spending time instead with some lovely and genuine non christians in the pub instead... a bunch of very different characters that brings us right round the same table sharing swapping stories so uncomplicated! sharing the same journey for a while.... a moment's panic someone ... i see someone ... i saw them for sure at that venue time gone by quite recently! as it happens never seen them there before.... then all turns bad ... coincidence? relax GOD is in control but the welling of anxiety! the second person of the day both from a long time ago charm and mallevolence all wrapped up in the same rain coat... unconnected to eachother...one wonders sometimes .... how unconnected a time frame .... anyhow the person in the pub has either left the pub or they have turned into someone vaguely similar but similar enough to not be them for sure so i can go back... er in what sort of a state? what if they are still there?... if they are then they are... it's these moments and there have been lots of them people reappearing unexpectedly.. a past that is complex and brings up stuff .. what can i say ? it's those imponderables... give it to Jesus let Jesus be Jesus!
last week i was late oops late it worked out perfectly but i had to embrace a telling off late... i had an excuse... i had been time watching knowing that in order to arrive at such a such a time i had to set out no later than.... so when i was rushing through what i was supposed to be doing and finished and the door opened and in came mog... and we chatted ... and mog said 'can we go treasure hunting?' what now? i explained that i was keeping an eye on the clock and it apparently made no difference we were treasure hunting are you joking? no ik knew the moment i mouthed protests that GOD Knew we were going treasure hunting... something mog had never done before but i had been out a couple of times of late having been out only a few times previously... the time befgore last was a grand occasion i was asked to go out with someone.. we had been out previous... it was a particularly grand occasion cos completely out of context somebody had given me a WORD about Treasurehunting... and i laughed cos me and this person had already spoken about ghoing treasurehunting this very week.... still the last time we had been out had been a bit well the same three had been out previously it was amazing..then the second time we went out together was a totally different experience.... and the other two had ghone off rather disappointedly and me it had to be all my fault sat miserably determined not to let things end there... ok GOD -we have been spectacularly unsuccessful in locating anyone on our lists at least who wants to stop for prayer.. (not that that stops us praying of course..) - i will sit here and will you bring me someone so i can pray for them Bless them? bring someone to speak tooo me .. so i sat and sat and sat and sat and then.... a very scarey person with darkest of dark sun glasses for the gloomiest of evenings walks by shopping laden and mutters something unnecessary about the weather walks past and suddenly stops and finds a fag to light... on the odds of something like this happening nil to one ... the person is way too close to me to be lighting a fag.. so i leap up explaining that i'm a christian and that i have just had this conversation with GOD.... no they do not run a mile from a mad person ... they are an unchurched christian with something that i can pray about and so i do... utterly amazed.. and humbled by our lovely GOD who is listening as we try to step out in faith.. so i had asensible endpoint to our treasurehunbting outting but the others did not... so when one of them wanted to go again ... i was humbled and available and .... well we didn't go when we said we would but we chose another day.... and it was amazing and beatuifl! with stories flowing forth and many folks having been prayed for ... and my companion crying as they prayed right there in public!
so when mog and me sat down to draw up our treasure lists it was GOD WHO SAID SO! and SO IT WAS!... even though i was meant to be someplace... ok the treasure hunting is easy...yo
gottago
GOD BLESS!
Peace and Love,
