Three bitter pills... and some honey

The hardest thing is to be your own worst enemy: 1. I spent all that energy stressing about where to sleep in Iceland. As it turns out I never cancelled the hotel booking I did for visa purposes. So, on top of the Youth Hostle I also paid the full fare for another bed in Ryekjavik in a nice singel room that I never slept in. The Spirit told me to check that booking, but I did not have its info with me so I got cought in a stress that I should not have had... 2. I forgot all my folders with documentation and some memories like the dvd with my photo's of Greenland in Mia's house in the Faroes. Now she has to send it after me to Berlin, and I had to convince the border police this morning that I am planning to leave the coountry with no evidence on me. Praise God they did not make it to hard... 3. I'm still not well. My head is full of thick slime and my ears are blocked. Before I left SA my beloved mother was in the same position, and I was critical of her rather than sympathetic. I should have prayed for her there and then, now I'm sitting whith the same symptoms... God forgive me. Please continue to pray for me. On the other side I was blessed financially both in Greenland and in the Faroes. Knowing that the Lord knows what I need, and that he is making a way is a tremendous relief. This morning He gave me Isa. 41:13 - 16. I really long for the faith to walk in a revelation of this the whole time!

6/8 - Day 16: Scotland

The ferry arrived at 5am at Torso right at the North of Scotland. I took a shared taxi to the train station where we had to wait for and hour and a half for the first train. I did the shofar thing there, and cried again when I told the gosple. The ground seems to be very sad here, and there is a sence of captivity and brokeness. I had the feeling that everything wanted to come with me, and I saw a picture of a mountain trying to hide in my bag.   The 3hour traintrip here to Inverness was depressing. Outside everything is a beautiful blue of greenness under the perpetual clouds, but I couldn't get rid of a sence of desperation in everything. The Lord is helping me to get into a place of waiting on Him for my strength, but I often feel I'm having to show the patient endurance John keeps talking about in Revelations. It is not easy. Mia in the Faroes said she saw two big and strong angels with me. They can protect me from anything, but I am not allowed the protection that would prevent me to feel what is going on around me. I wonder if there will be a tear left in me when I get to Jerusalem. Please pray for me for the Grace I need to endure what ever...

5/8 - Day 15: Ferry - Norway - Ferry

After goodbyes and a beautiful ride to Torshavn with Hanna, I boarded the ferry and found the little hole in the 9 bed berth that would be my safe place for the next 2 days. As we departed from Torshavn I read Revelationson the deck. It was hard with the wind and the people milling around and me being so dead tired. About halfway through I had a nap first and then I read the rest to the belly of the see lying in my bed deap under the surface of the water.   I slept the rest of the night and only woke up again at 8am the next morning. I was just in time to see the last bit of our entrance into Bergen, and the Lord told me unexpectedly that I should do the whole shofar thing here too. So I went on land and found a corner in the garden of what looks like an historic fort on the harbour. I blew the shofar and told the gosple, and felt that the Lord was connecting Part II of the N Highway with part one we did in March, and that I was addressing all of Scandinavia. The responce I felt was very open and happy and eager to bless Israel. So I took a stone for all of Scandinavia wrote almost all of Is 42 on the map and ran back to the boat. There I found a nice place on the deck and started reading Revelations. By Chapter 6 we departed and I felt SO tired, I just wanted to sleep. I asked the Lord to help and to my supprise I managed to push through - only the second time I managed to read it in one go.   After that I had a harring meal in the restaurant and then I went back to bed again where I stayed until I was woken up at 3:30 this morning by the troop of scottich boyscouts that shared our hall.

Please Pray: UK & Ireland!

In praying about Scotland, Ireland, Wales, England and Cornwall before I left SA I felt to rent a car and travel to the extreme edges of these nations to collect stones from there. Not really knowing what this would involve in terms of time I find it hard to tell people before hand when I will be where. I do however feel that I should continue to submit to the church of the nation and be sent by them. My only current plan is to go to these 'ends of the earth', look for the closest church I can find to them and submit to whomever I can find there. Would you please pray for wisdom and decernment for me to be able to find God's children in these places, and favour with them that they would be able to understand me and to bless the taking of their stones.

4/8 – Day 14: Ferry from Faroe Islands

Its almost 6am and I have been blogging through the night again. I'm going to shower and pack now and then I'll write Sanna and Mia's thank you cards and start reading Revelations. I'll see how far I come before Hanna comes with buns for breakfast at 7:45. I'll read the rest in Torshavn on the ferry. We have to leave here at about 9:30 for me to be in Torshavn in time for the ferry which departs at 12noon. I have a couchette place which is apparently a bed in a 2bunkbed cabin. I'll be in the ferry for almost 2 days and I should arrive in Scrabster Scorland at 6:00 on 6/8. I don't think I'll have cellphone reception in this time.
