SHEILA’S [J-A-T] TIDBITS … No. 2    (February 3rd. 2015)

I am reminded that over 40 years ago we said, "Lord, we will go anywhere YOU lead us even Timbucktu!”  We were surprised to hear what God’s answer was, “Canada”.  Asking for confirmation, I was led to read ‘’Streams in the Desert” -- a daily Bible-based reading book. I carefully worked out that day’s date or so I thought: (Here’s an anointed mistake!). "By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive as an inheritance ... Whither he went, he knew not, but it was enough to know that he went with God).  When we arrived in Toronto Int. Airport, Canada in 1968, while Ray was being ‘grilled’ by the Immigration Officer, I found myself shut in a room with our 3 children plus our new babe of 6 months. I began to sing, “How great is our God, How great is His Word. He’s the greatest One that ever was heard. He rolled back the waters of the mighty Red Sea and He said I am going to lead you won’t you follow Me? “… I said ‘Yes, Lord. We will follow you. Thank You for parting these ‘waves’ into Canada’. Previously our immigration application sent from Australia had been rejected, but the Lord told us to go on and that we would receive our ‘papers’ there. Father’s ways are not our ways. We actually received a Deportation Order but our heavenly Father made a way where there was no way. Hallelujah. We were learning, all we need to do is Ask - Listen - Hear and Obey.   Amen ...’So be it!’. God bless. Sent in love, Sheila.
