Crazy flight and delays!


Well on thing leads to another... there were some thunderstorms in Toronto which delayed out plane from coming in (it was stuck in a line on the runway) it delayed our boarding by 2 hrs. Then we got seated and they wanted to wait for people who had a transfer from Winnapeg. Then the fuel truck had to finish up so it delayed our take off an hour and a half.
Flight was okay some turbulation but nothing life thretening.
Got into London and had a bunch of line-ups. it was 9am by this time so I obviously missed my 8:15 flight from london to Amsterdam. Found out the only next flight to Amsterdam left at 16:00. Found internet access (friendly currancy exchange man gave me a £) I called the hostel at the air canada desk... thankfully my friend Martha picked up and contacted my sister and two friends who were waiting for me already at Schiphol (amsterdam airport). Now i'm waiting... thankfully the waiting is almost done and i got to kill the last hour on free internet place i found. yay i'll find out my gate number in 10 min.

its cool though i've been really peaceful and suprizingly patient... God is good!

Next step

moving to 'Nederland'
I am trusting the Lord who lead me there
i don't have much money, any apartment or finalized job contract.
walking by faith...
every time the trust challenges seem to get harder and harder.
its good I'm learning to trust Him with all things
Got the next 22 nights figured out hopefully that will give me enough time to find out what I'll be doing.
I NEED PRAYER
as i have been praying allot lately realizing how much I really can't even pretend to have it together this time
I'm at a loss: broke, homeless and stranded in Europe.(technically)
I know God is my only sure thing in life so I will hold on to Him!

Summer in Canada

I came to Canada for 'vacation' found out that its good to take a break and this was my chance, I really felt like it was a gift from God.
My first week I just started getting on my feet... realizing how much I love Canada, what a ghetto I used to live in, my heart for Hamilton, old friends who are always there for me. It was good.
The second week my friend Tamar from England who I met in Amsterdam came.
I spend two weeks hanging out with her, showing her Canada... we went on a canoe trip and to Niagara fall, Toronto, strawberry picking... etc. We had allot of good talks about God and just praying together.
My parents came in the last days of Tamar's stay. It was so good to see them, but when Tamar left it was a big adjustment to live with just our family. All of us had different emotional reposes it was hard. We got busy cleaning and doing random crafts and before we knew it, it was family camping.
From there a week later we disbursed. Marika went last minute to Amsterdam for August a week before me, Heit and Mem left for China, I'm leaving for Amsterdam, Eritia will be heading to spain for 2.5 months, Art is off to teachers collage in thunder bay, and Hobbe is busy hangin out with his girl friend and ministering with Campus for Christ in Hamilton.
