Random and Tandom

15.08.10 -Bala, N Wales- 

We've arrived already in N Wales and have been spending time with M, George's long time buddy. Having known only my side of the past couple of days, hearing the recent events of M's life blows my mind. 

From the Lake District, George and I rented a vehicle and decided to drive into N Wales, where M lives. George had called M on Thursday and arranged to stop by the next day. M is a wedding photographer who is booked every weekend. For some bummer reason, this weekends booking was cancelled. He actually had time to meet up! I had heard through George that M needed a ride somewhere also in N Wales. 'Perfect', I thought, 'Our plans are open so we can give him a lift.'

After meeting M, I hear his side of the previous few days. He has been so busy the past few weeks that he is exhausted, physically and spiritually. He needed to step out of his surroundings to spend time with God, to relax really. After the photo shoot cancelled, he called his friends to bail to their place for the weekend.

In his words, he felt to hold off from buying a train ticket. He didn't know why to hold off but he sensed not to purchase the ticket. He followed his senses and skipped the train ticket. He also figured not to bother with a bus ticket until after Friday's work was finished, he'd wait for the evening or so. Before he could get the ticket, and after he ignored buying a train ticket, George calls up saying, 'hey, we've rented a car and we're headed over your way. Are you free this weekend?' Perfect timing.

God totally planned this weekend, from saving M time and money on travel fair, to allowing really good ministry full of the meat like confession, repentance, and intercession. The entire weekend was invigorating, and hindsight I can see God worked all the fine details as we just made plans and trusted His guidance. I'm sure the weekend was liberating for M. 

On top of this, George and I stayed in a hostel that was built alongside a Roman footpath. On the other side is a 16th century French castle mound.. my mind fails to comprehend the timeframe of these dates. Oh, and the hostel owner gave us free beer. Super cool guy.

Pray for M, that the weekend wedding shoots will be peaceful rather than stressful. Also, please ask God to give M a creative eye to capture the beauty of God through M's photos.

    Thank you for sending encouraging reminders of God's constant working of everything for the good to those who love Him...and for the exhortation to be faithful in the mundane!
    May the Holy Spirit continue to guide you and use you.
