Day 44

The view from Wandsworth Bridge at 8 o'clock this morning. We're in London for a conference and were on our way for a spot of breakfast before we got to church. All I have to say today is that God is so kind. I have found myself thinking over the last few months that He is not faithful, because that is how it looks and it's certainly how it feels. I have said sorry to Him for that because I know that He is faithful, but I was not expecting just how faithful He was going to be this weekend! 

Not only did He clearly speak to me and give me things to tell other people that gave encouragement and direction, but He spoke to them about me. He has been slowly and certainly putting things in place and in order over months and months so that this weekend He could show me the problem, put it right and lift me up. He truly is the good Shepherd and, although I often don't like - actually, sometimes hate - the path He chooses, there always always always comes the point where I go "Oh, that's why. This was the better path."
