adventure in the UK - p1

 Aldershot & Guilford, 08 – 15 May

cousins

A few months ago, I did not know I had some relatives living in the UK. I learned about my uncle and his family in Aldershot before I filled my visa application. I thought it´s worth mentioning this here because it was a great encouragement for me during the visa processing.  

It was late when I finally arrived at my uncle´s place. I was told what to expect as my relatives were working and their kids were at school. So I tried to be a good tourist, checked out the center town, and took a few photos.

A few days later, I went to Guilford to connect with the people at the Boiler Room, little did I know what was in store for me there. The connection I had with them was overwhelming. Plus, I got to meet a very good friend of mine from the Netherlands! It was a brief time of hanging out with these guys but I believe that there´s something more in the future.

Oh, on the last day I was in Guilford, I got to meet some more people from the 24/7! They had a guestspeaker from India and it inspired us all.  A couple things that stayed in mind was, the assurance of God´s Presence when we call to Him in prayer (Deutronomy 4:7). The other is found in Song of Songs 2:14 (NKJV)

¹⁴ “ O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret places of the cliff, Let me see your face,
Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet,

And your face is lovely.”

This passage spoke volumes to me... that I am in the clefts of the rock, in Christ, that He wants to see my face and hear my voice is quite a scandalous grace. It re-sealed something within me...that I am secured in who I am in Him. Thereby that security and rest gives me confidence to come boldly to the throne of the Father to stand on behalf people, nations, and circumstances. Oh what a privilege!!!
