#276 - In Toronto! Prayers Answered!

 Vol. #276

 

Thank you for your prayers and because you prayed…


- I thought I was leaving on the 23rd, Sunday night, but in reality I was leaving early on Sunday morning, 15 minutes after midnight on the 23rd! So I had to be at the airport on Saturday night, not on Sunday! Thankfully Ian and Ramona reminded me; otherwise I would have been there at the wrong time! So I am thankful I sent out specific prayer requests to you all.

 
- Due to the Elections many of the taxis, the tuk tuk drivers, and friends here were away at their hometown to vote, so it would have been a bit difficult to get to the airport. But, because of YOU, I got a message from Sister Chakriya and her husband Lokru Darith, whose hometown is Phnom Penh, that they were thinking of me and wondered how I was getting to the airport, and offered to drive me there! My usual drive, David and Lauren, had just left for the USA the previous week.

COMMUNITY AT PP

- As I was on my way to the airport, I got a text from my friend Julia who had come with her husband to my place to help take my suitcases down the 32 steps, and who were going to lock up and check on my place and all she said was, ‘Vidya’, and I thought, ‘oh no, where is my carry-on?’ I had forgotten my carry-on at my place! Well bless them, they both got on their moto and sped through the streets with my carry-on to bring it to the airport for me!

- I had not seen my former student Oun Kim-Ly from Rescue for over 2 years and yet he came to see me with his sister. What touched me was that he also has not attended church for 3 years, and yet there he was praying over my travels in public at the airport! This is an answer to prayers made for him in unity with Oun Sreyleak, so I hope this is an encouragement for many of YOU who have prayed for loved ones who have stepped away from the Lord.

PRAYING OVER ME AT AIRPORT


- I had asked that I would be a good seatmate, and I got a chance to help the older folks sitting around me. The one man who sat in the window seat kept getting ‘lost’ from finding his seat each time he got up to go to the washroom on the plane so I had to be alert to wave to him after he kept walking by our row!

 
- My suitcases were right there as soon as I got to the carousel. Each one was just coming by as I got there so I did not have to wait.  My sister Sita was there to pick me up at the airport! Thank you Sita!

 
Again, thank you for your prayers! I am here in Toronto.

#275 - Prayer Requests for Travel July 23rd.

Vol.# 275 

Good Saturday morning to all


Thank you for always praying for and with me. I would covet your prayers as I travel on the 23rd back to Toronto please! 


- The day that I am travelling is Election Day here. By 3-ish all polls are closed and people have begun to travel to their hometown where they are registered in order to vote (reminds me of Joseph and Mary travelling re: census time back to their hometown!). Please pray that all workers will be at the airport so that there are no delays.

 
Pray for favor at Customs at Phnom Penh as well as at S. Korean airport.

 
Pray for no delays at Phnom Penh since my layover is about 2 1/2 hours at Incheon International airport. There have been delays of up to 2 hours at PP in the past few weeks!

 
- One of my friends who was travelling from Incheon had a 4-hour delay on the tarmac there! They had to stay on the plane for the entire time. I would ask that there is no delay, but if it happens, that HE would give me HIS SUPERNATURAL GRACE. I find it claustrophobic to be within the confines of the plane for so long.

 
Pray for good seatmates and that I WOULD BE a good seatmate as well!

 
Pray for safety and that my luggage will arrive when I do.

 
Pray that I would have the time to visit those with whom HE wants me to spend time before I leave and not be too tired

 

- Construction is ongoing beginning at 6:30 in the morning here and it is all week including Sunday. Pray for rest in spite of the loud sounds!

 
I look forward to reconnecting with you, my fellow dancers! 

This is the first time in a long time that I am returning during the summer! I am usually there in the winter. I pray that with no delays I can be on site on the 24th for my Mum’s birthday! 

Thank you for your prayers. I rest assured because I know you intercede with and for me. Please send me your requests as well. 

See you when I see you (a Khmer saying here)!
