There has been many things to praise God about since our holiday. The Lord kept us safe in Toronto, away from all harm and despite some days of 'unhappiness', we all enjoyed the two weeks over all and woudl like to go back again soon! =)
This entry will be about Monday 11th July when i was up Aberdeen the day before and was planning to return to Glasgow with El so we could visit Glsagow Youth camp together. El told me we should get up 4am, have something to eat, then walk out to catch the 2A bus around 5:55am or so as our Megabus to Glasgow was 6:40am. We stood at the bus stop for about half an hour and there were no signs of any buses, and hardly any cars. We got concerned; El called for a taxi at 6:13am. The operator said a taxi would be there shortly. We continued waiting a further few minutes before I called up again to ask for status and to tell them we had a bus to catch to Glasgow at 6:40am. The operator told me I should have booked half an hour in advance, then after putting me on hold to check its status, she informed me that the taxi was "on the path".
The longer El and I waited the more axvious we became. What if we missed the Megabus? Could we get on the 8:40am bus without paying? Would there be seats available? I think El was more worried than me. Oh yeah, if we arrived at Glasgow 12pm it would be a rush to meet people at 1pm.
A few cars passed and our taxi came: a Fiat Bravo(?) estate car. We explained to the driver our bus departs 6:40am so he had ten minutes to get there from Bridge of Don. He said it shouldn't be a problem. We told him we waited at the bus stop for a long time and he told us it was an Aberdeen local holiday so busese were on Sunday service.
Anyway, the driver drove very fast, like 40mph in 30mph zones, went on roads that didn't have red lights etc and got us to Guild Street Station bang on 6:40am. We seen the bus reverse out a little, the taxi driver horned the bus as El and I ran to the bus flagging it down - we go on!
Hallelujah! So close!
Oh yeah, taxi driver almost drove as fast as a seagull soaring! Haha!

It was 2005 when I first started to note down on paper the amount of Grace and blessings God had given me. These are personal accounts of the times when God helped me out of sticky situations, when God spoke to me, when I learnt more about His love for me. August 2009, I want to put all these entries onto a blog so I can access them around the world and way into the far future, without fear of losing the pad or paper turning yellow. :)
