#304 - Travelling Mercies

 Vol.# 304

I just wanted to give you a quick update on your prayers for my travels.

- Our Lord did more than I expected, starting with a very humble Uber driver who

was surprised that I gave him a big tip. I felt that the Lord prompted me to do this.

After this young man got my 2 suitcases out of the car, he waited to put them in the

trolley and made sure I was set to enter the airport doors!

- Favour with the counter attendants at Korean Air. She was the nicest lady ever,

who said, ‘you know you can use the boarding pass that you downloaded on your

App. You do not need the paper boarding pass’, because she saw that I was a bit

confused at only getting the receipts for my suitcases at the counter, and not the

usual 2 boarding passes for the 2 flights!

- I thank God for my bro Vish who helped me to pack my suitcases, it was ON

WEIGHT!!!

- And YES, many of you prayed that I would get great seat mates and asked that I

would be a blessing to others on the flights. Well, the flight was FULL, but I had the

ONLY row with 2 empty seats so I could stretch out to sleep! Never ever has the

flight to Seoul from Toronto had ANY EMPTY seats, and yet here I was in the only

row with 2 empty seats, window, middle, and my usual aisle seat that I requested!

Thank you for your prayers for His favour over me!

- HOWEVER, three quarters into the flight, the head flight attendant came to ask if

another passenger could come and sit because she had a broken arm and could

not sit comfortably where she was assigned! Okay, truthfully, this is where the

struggle began because I was thinking NO!!! I was in luxury even though I was in

economy, and I heard His voice say, ‘well Vidya, I thought you wanted to be a

blessing to others! Isn’t that what you asked for in your prayers? Or are you having

a spirit of entitlement instead of gratitude that for such a time as this you had the

space to relax at the beginning of this journey? I confessed to Him about my

‘attitude’ and asked Him if I could help this woman with a broken arm.

- And YES again. In the second flight, as everyone boarded on the smaller plane, I

sat on the side with 2 seats and it was a small space, and as more people came on,

and walked past me, and the pilot announced for us to get ready to depart, I still

could NOT believe that here again I had no one sitting next to me!

- AND when I got to the new big airport in Phnom Penh, the couple who came to

pick me up waited patiently for me as we were late in getting out of Seoul, about an

hour and a half later than expected. But I got the help with carrying my suitcases up the stairs!

I am humbled by His goodness and I thank all of you. I just wanted to let you know

of your answers to my travels back!
