I arrived at 30th Street station Philadelphia only to find the board lit up with train delays. The train station was packed with lines of disgruntled passengers whose trains were delayed because of some problem along the Amtrak rail system. It was 12:30 pm when I got there. My train to NYC was scheduled for around 2:00 pm. I calmly sat down and whispered my confidence: "Lord, I know you're going to work this out in my favor so that my train is not delayed." Not long after my prayer, came one announcement after the other that the trains were coming in and the people were moving out! The pathway was cleared for my train to arrive on time. I was on my way to JFK airport.
I have never flown out of JFK before. It's a huge airport with multiple terminals, one could easily be misdirected. I encountered no such problems. Not because I knew where I was going, but because I was divinely directed to the right people to ask. My transfer to JFK from Penn Station NY went smooth as butter. I found my gate and waited for my 10 pm check-in.
At check-in I would come to understand why Jesus told the disciples to only carry a staff and their cloak when He sent them out to spread the gospel. My airline (Norweigen) has the least customer friendly bag allowance weight I have ever encountered----10 kg. The combined weight of my carry-on and one personal item, which they weighed together, forced me into a 16 kg overage for which they charged me an extra $100. Next time it's definitely a staff and cloak for me.

Every door that has been opened for me to join in ministry with K180.org and London City Mission (lcm.org.uk) has been orchestrated by the Lord. I didn't know anyone in either organization when I reached out to them, and they knew even less about me. But we had this in common, we love Jesus and we love leading the lost to Him. Sweet Jesus. It's going to be a Holy Spirit filled time this week. I can't wait to take you along on this journey with me so let's get started.
