Co incidence or not?! I’ll let you decide

I am back in Northern Ireland one week now. Emotions change day my day minute by minute, I’m glad to see family and friends but I miss folk back in Thailand too, and I miss what I got up to there. Sometimes I struggle living at home, being in N.Irish culture which I haven’t been part of for a long period of time for eight years.

Today I arranged to meet my mum for lunch at one of my fav coffee shops. She wasn’t outside so I went inside I couldn’t see her but I saw someone who looked awfully like a girl I had went to school with, but thought no it can’t be her. She’s in Aberdeen Scotland. Maybe she’ home visiting for a few days? So I went over and sure enough it was her. So got talking and she’s going to be at Belfast Bible College in September!! After leaving school she went to Aberdeen to study I was supposed to go there too but at the last minute decided it was a little bit too far and ended up in Dundee. We visited each other a few times. Meanwhile we both fell in love with the people of Asia. After graduating Julie went to Japan for a year and myself to Thailand.
What a provision someone who just lives up the road who is struggling with living at home, adapting to NI culture, have a heart for the people of Asia, want to serve God there in the future but a little bit scared.
