Back from Trail and Salmo, British Columbia


Hi I just arrived home tonight from the airport, I flew in from Trail today. It was a lovely day for a flight and so beautiful to see the sights from the sky, just a small plane so we flew low through the mountains, valleys and over the city..and it was fantastic!
I had so many surprises this week end. On Friday I was surprised the little Trail church had grown so much since I was there  over 20 years ago and that they had a bus ministry for kids! I was blessed as we drove to Salmo and I found that my friend Milan was visiting, she is married now and has a baby! And her parents are the pastors there! The another surprise was on Saturday back in Trail, I met a lady whose friends name is Maralee, same spelling, and she was named after me!(I never knew there was anyone ever named after me)! I was told that her mother was blessed by my ministry way back about 25 years ago and she named her only child after me! What an honor. However the sad note was that when Maralee was only 10yrs old her mother took ill and was unable to "mother" her. Then about 2 year ago Maralee's mom died of a brain tumor or brain cancer (so did my Mom)! My name sake now lives in Saskatchewan and I hope to connect with her one day, perhaps God will use me in her life. This story will be continued!
The other surprise was that Pastor Shane McIntyre (from the Trail church) took my Thailand photos and put them to music! I have been so blessed this week end, I can't remember when I have had more surprises, more fun, met more friends, old and new, and been more blessed by the sovereign move of God. It has been a beautiful, supernatural week-end... as I have let my light shine, so that they might see your good works (Jesus) and Glorify your Fathers which is in heaven! Big smile. And the light shone back on me.
