London Part 2

1-2-08
We woke up in the beautiful park, but it was freezing! I could barley put my sleeping bag away. We walked a mile back into town and found a subway to get some breakfast (coffee and a cookie). Then we headed back to London and still had some time before we met lacy at the British museum. We headed for a little place called Camedon. It was crazy! It is known for all the punk/emo styles there and if defiantly upheld its reputation.
After the museum we decided to go back to the clink hostel, even though we were not really planning on staying there that night, to cook some pizza. We found out they did not have an oven, so we managed to make it on the stove. Quite fun.
This is where the real story begins.
We wanted to sleep in the hostel that night, because of the poor sleep we got outside. I went to reserve the room, but it was ridiculously expensive, because it was the weekend and the only room available was the single room. We said we would just go find the people sleeping outside for peace right by Big Ben. That would be fun! On the underground ride there with all of our things I read in the paper that is was supposed to be below freezing with some freezing rain. Not fun, but we kept on, because the Lord has not failed us yet : ) little did we know what was in store for us.
We got off at the wrong station and just started walking somewhere, when we asked a girl where Big Ben was. She laughed and said, “You are going the wrong way”. We got on the bus and again got off somewhere random and started waling. We walked past this homeless looking man on the freezing night and about 30 feet past us he turned and yelled, “Free food!” We did not think he was talking to us, but apparently we looked homeless and hungry. He yelled again, “free food”, so we turned and caught up to him. We walked to a group of people. It was some missionaries giving out food to the homeless and creating relationships with them! So cool. Caleb continues to talk to the homeless, while I talked to the missionaries (Wayne). They were a group called CORE (City Out Reach and Empowerment) the people from Christian Revival Church had to leave, but Wayne nonchalantly slipped a piece of paper to me and said call me in 30 minutes.
Long story short we ended up meeting him at midnight at Big Ben and he took us to his friend’s house. They were also from this church and made us feel so welcome. Over the next 3 days they planned events for us, gave us food, shelter for 3 nights, washed our clothes, washed us, let us use the internet, try to call home, prayed for us, took us to a South African barbeque, took us to church, and became good friends with us! It was so great.
The Lord is totally faithful and will protect his children. I have found that if I just listen to his direction, have a little faith, and obey he gives us the most adventurous life!
It is good to have a stable life, but what do you find your stability in?
