Ok,
so when most of you read what my answered prayer was, you are probably going to
think it is pretty silly. But for me it was a big deal, and completely made my
day, so thought I would share it with you anyways.
Our
team left Romania on Thursday night and arrived in Budapest, Hungary. We were
only going to be there for one day. Budapest is a really cool city, and since I
had never been there, you would think that I was excited to see the city.
However, I had one thing on my mind and only one thing that I was praying for
from the second we hit the ground, ‘God please let us see Kathryn even if it is
only for 2 seconds.’
Now
if you have been reading my blogs or talked to me this year, you probably know
who Kathryn is. She was on my team for the first 8 months of the race, but
right before we left for Romania, she was switched to a different team. In the
beginning I didn’t take the change all that well, but by the end of the month
could totally see it was in God’s plan for everyone that was involved.
Kathryn
and her new team are doing ministry in Budapest this month, and it had been a
month since we had seen her, and this was our last possible chance to see her
before final debrief, which was another 5 weeks away. (I know it doesn’t sound
like that long, but when you have lived with someone all year, it seems like
forever). So I am not exaggerating when I say, that is all I did the entire
morning while walking around Budapest, was beg God to let us see her even if it
was just for 2 seconds. Then we found out that our train left at 1:00pm, so it
looked like it was official that we wouldn’t see her. So I called her team
leader, Megan and told her that our teams were not going to be able to meet up.
I had accepted it, and decided that I was fine, and it would just make debrief
that much better.
We
got to the train station at like 12:50. We were loaded up with all our stuff
(day packs on the front, and big packs on the back), when all of a sudden out
of know where, someone leaped on me. Any guess who it was? Kathryn!!!! And to
make the day even better, she had two of my other favorite people with her, Liz
and Megan. Totally made my day.
Then
we left part of our team at the train station, which was a little bit of a
stressful time, but as Danny and I were sitting on the train talking, I was
telling him how excited I had been to see those 3 girls. And then it hit me,
God had answered my prayer.
