Matthew 7:1, "Judge not, that he be not judged."
Outside of Kandy is this mountain range. Kumar told us they call it Bible Rock because it looks like a bible. Pretty fitting to see a bible because of the days events.
It actually all started the night before. Our driver, Kumar, was going to pick us up at the Guest House then take us to the University, get our visa papers signed so we could get to Colombo today. Our visas expire Sunday so we are under pressure to get everything signed so we can stay. 😲 Ken felt that we needed to go to the Church House and do a few things. Ken arranged for Shantha to take us to the church and Kumar could pick us up at the Church.
This morning we arrived at the Church House already to go. (First miracle) Ken called Kumar to tell him to pick us up at the Church instead of the Guest House. Kumar said he had been praying that we could meet him at the Church because he needed to drop off a letter. Wow!
Next task was to take the letter that Kumar brought with him to get it signed by the University Chancellor and Dean. We had no appointments scheduled so we thought it would be best to call. Ken called and the Chancellor's Secretary told us that the Chancellor would be in meetings all day. We may be able to catch him after 3:30 or meet with him first thing tomorrow morning. We decided to schedule an appointment for tomorrow morning. Ken then called the Dean and he was able to see us today after 11:00. Now here is the dilemma, Kumar has to go back to Colombo today, we need to get the papers signed so we can get back for training on Friday. Colombo is a 4 hour drive so its not a quick trip. Ken called President Anton and he told us to go to the University. So off we went with Kumar telling us that God will provide away.
(Here's miracle 2) Usually when a driver goes to the University we have to stop at the guard station and explain where we are going and who we are seeing. Today Kumar drove up and they opened the gate without asking any questions. Kumar said, God is opening the way. 😊
We walked onto the University campus with a prayer in our heart and faith that we could get the signatures we needed so we could drive to Colombo today.
The Dean wasn't in his office when we first arrived. Asked the Secretary and she said it would be about 30 minutes. We decided to sit and wait for him. (Miracle 3) Dean arrived, signed the papers we needed and even called the Chancellor to let him know we needed his signature today. 😄
We headed to the Chancellor`s office and were met by two men that said the Chancellor was out and it would be at least 2 hours before we could get the signature. Ken said that would be fine, we will wait.
As we were waiting we could here them discussing our documents. We didnt understand the conversation because they were speaking in theie native language. The Secretary that Ken had talked to earlier came and wasn't so happy to see us because she did tell us the Chancellor was busy. We smiled and explained we were sorry but really needed to get the papers signed today.
Soon they invited us into a special waiting room and offered us something to drink. As we continued to wait and I kept thinking of the scripture in 2 Chronicles 32:7, that Isaiah and Hezekiah pray to be strong. Isaiah says, "Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with them." I really felt that we had more angels with us today because (miracle 4). About 15 minutes later we had the signature we needed and were on our way. 🤗
There is no doubt in my mind that Heavenly Father is guiding the work here in Kandy. I know we have guardian angels around us giving us the strength we need when we feel weak. We learned not to judge what was going to happen today.
Kens new drink that he has every morning and every night. Hot water with limes. They say the hot water helps clear out the sinuses and is good for digestion. It's also helps with weight loss. 🤔
