Exciting plans from an exciting God

The plans are in place at last. Ones I believe are blessed and organized by God. But why would God want this divorced, newly empty-nester, and even more new grandmama to go on a European trip to meet up with her youngest daughter in Paris? And to stay in Paris for three weeks in her daughter's flat and then for us to travel together to Marakeech and Italy? Could there be better plans? God is so good!

I guess I will find out what God has in mind. I suspect this will be a new exciting God-sized adventure full of things I have never even dreamed of. The plan had been to have a houseswap in Paris for me, while my daughter stayed in her flat with her friend she had travelled there with - the flat is too small for a third person. At least that was my plan. But that plan of mine never quite worked.

God knew what was going to happen - while I was blind and frustated emailing endless people tryng to get it all organized. Instead my daughter's friend is going to London for a job so the flat is half empty and there's no one to pay the other half of the rent while she is not there. Enter me!! God is so clever!

I will keep you posted on what happens next!

Writing with God

Writing with God is a surprising adventure! When I am writing I feel He is so close - whispering in my ear, playing hide and seek among the pages of Scripture, concealing then revealing, laughing at my questions then pouncing on me with His answers.

Writing is a time of wonderful intimacy for me. No wonder I love it so much.

And then there is always a new adventure - once the manuscript is almost complete - one that I am still grappling with. And He is still hiding!

Adventures with God

Welcome to my new blog.I have never done this before so you are in on this new adventure with me! I love new adventures. And life with God just seems to be a continual one.

Almost every day He surprises me with who He is and what He does and how He works within me and within those around me. Sometimes I get frustrated because He doesn't seem to work fast enough - so I think! But then - as I learn to wait He often slowly reveals why. I love it when He does this.
