Dear Friends – I’ve been thinking about an earlier post where I told you about the team running through the airport to catch our train.  Although things looked mighty bad for us, I prayed that God would help us get to the train in time to avoid major complications for us.  While we were dashing through airport I had a very strong peace about me that everything would be fine.  I know none of the other team members shared those same feelings.  As I told you before, we did catch the train and made the connecting train in time.  It has really stayed with me how I had such a great peace, one that I don’t think I’ve experienced before, when it appeared something very bad was going to happen.  I truly believe that God was using that moment to share something very profound with me – when I pray to Him and truly believe that He will answer my prayer, He will give me a deep and unwavering peace.  I know He wants this for me – not in just the small things like catching a train, but in the big and very important things in my life.  I have heard this message many times before in my life, but never experienced this depth of God’s peace and love for me.  May we all experience this again and again in our lives.  Love, Don
