Hong Kong October 2015.




*****WARNING LOTS OF PHOTOS*****


                                                          Vacation to Hong Kong.




                       This past month we took and amazing and much needed Vacation...... to Hong Kong.
 It was nothing short of something that only God can work out! Every single detail had Gods hand working in it.
Back in June we were given a sum of money to use for the children, previously when we have been given a gift like that we use it for living expenses.  John and I talked about it and decide to pray for direction on how to use the money for something extra special for both children. About a month later after praying about it, a friend told us about some very cheap flights to Hong Kong. We both felt immediately that God could bless this as a good way to use the money. So we purchased the tickets and started to look for a reasonable priced motel to stay at. And we started to feel very discouraged with what we were finding. And again we prayed for Gods direction on what to do. We contacted an place that seems very reasonable and started to pursue booking the place to stay, in the mean while our "Canadian" friends whom we were going to see in Hong Kong told us that their organization had just rented another apartment right next door to their home, and we could stay there for a small fee.   See I told you that Gods hand was in this from the very beginning.  First of all for a gift of money we were given was and amazing act of God.  Also while we were in Hong Kong our friends had a contact of someone who worked at Disneyland and we were given free passes to spend the day at Disneyland. Definitely a huge highlight for the children.

                               Eating at McDonald's  and Subway was a huge highlight as well.
                             
Subway was this little guys most favorite place
 to eat before we moved to Cambodia.
Over 16 months of not eating McDonalds, (I still didn't miss it.)
 But the kids sure enjoyed it.

                 Now  Some pictures from our time at Disneyland.

A highlight for me was seeing these
   3 beautiful Canadian faces for an hour. 
          It was another amazing work of God on our Vacation.
(For those that don't know we come from the same church in Canada.)



The Children LOVE camping.
so having a fire pit to roast hot dogs by
 was another highlight for all of us.

This amazing Family knows how to treat their guests.
We had a splendid time with them and  meeting their sweet
little girl for the first time.





Looking back over this month, I have seen God working in many different ways.  He is faithful In providing just what we need at the right time. And our Vacation time was perfect timing.  The last few months have not been easy for us, But we do know God is in control and he will never leave us of forsake us. 

                             I will leave you with, Something that has encouraged me.

  God never sends you into a situation alone.
God goes before you. 
He stands beside you.
He walks behind you.
What ever situation you have right now,
Be confident! 
God is with you!
