My time in Shenzhen was brief but incredibly blessed! Harriet helped me right away to get a plane ticket to Shanghai. (Papa gave me wisdom and insight beforehand that this was His way to get there.) It was 50% off, and Papa provided Esther, Harriet's friend, to also help me get the ticket. Without Esther's Ctrip card, I couldn't have gotten the ticket. The ticket was personally delivered to Harriet's home a few hours later for FREE, and by the time it was delivered the same online ticket price had risen 210 yuan (Chinese dollars). What a wonderful Papa to save me 210 yuan and provide a plane ticket! It's even more incredible if you consider that Harriet hardly ever sees this friend ... but hmmm, do you believe in Sovereignty? I DO!! :)
I had dinner with Harriet, Esther, and Lisha. It was at a nice Sichuan restaurant. Later, I met Brown with Harriet. He's from Ghana and has been wanting desperately to meet me for several weeks. We made plans to come to his house the next morning before I flew to Shanghai.
Being with Brown was very fun for me! He and I are incredibly laid back folks. He lives very far away from Harriet in a beautiful apartment complex. We had breakfast and talked about Papa and His book. How refreshing to have someone eagerly seeking me out to talk about both! Brown in incredibly positive and kind. He paid for a private taxi to drive us about one hour to the Shenzhen airport. Harriet and I spent a couple of hours there. She really loves me, so I gave her my gifts of time and touch.
... On the plane now headed to Shanghai. Papa has led to read the following: Isaiah 63-65. Several verses really spoke to me - Isaiah 63:7-9, 11-19, and 64:1-12. They made me think of China's need for Jesus. My flight to Shanghai was so peaceful and blessed! :)
