Having Faith in God and Seeking him in every situation without Doubt - Mark 11:22-23 & Phillipians 4:6

Without doubt I write this little story about what happened to me on the night of Thursday the 14th of March, when I flew from Lae to Port Moresby for my field break. I fell ill on the evening of 7th March my first day of field break. I was down for the next 7 days. Amended my flights to the 14th on which I flew to POM. My flight was delayed and the story I am writing now is a moment between me and the LORD.

God is Good. Amen. Yesterday I was on Px 106 to POM from Lae. The flight was delayed for another 30 minutes and it was late now. We board boieng 676 at 6:25pm. I was worried that it would be too late for me to catch a cab home to Gerehu. I texted a girlfriend (Mitch) who comforted me and told me that I was going to be ok. As I switched my mobile off I started praying.
I committed my journey from Lae to POM and from. Jacksons to home to the Lord seeking his guidance and protection. As we bounded to land I prayed for the Lord to bring someone to me whom I know will take me home safely. As I was going to finish and say Amen I silent voice came to me saying. "As you walk out there will a person in white shirt smiling at you" you will notice his smile and he is someone you know of and he knows you to. He will offer to take you home.
I walked out into the arrival waiting area. It was already dark by then. I text a colleague (JS) back at 9 mile and advised him that it was late and am stranded. He advised me to get on a cab that an elderly person was driving if not get on the arch taxi. I asked of arch taxis’ no and he gave me the number.
I dialed the arch axis’s number and it rang out. I stood for a while and decided I should take my bags and walk up to where the comfort taxies were. As I walked up there were three of them there. I looked around and as I looked across my eyes caught a short fellow in white shirt standing outside the cab. He nodded his head so I walked across. I looked at him and in my head I thought I saw this person somewhere but I hesitated to ask.
He opened the boot and as I was trying to put my bags in I saw that the boot floor was sort of broken so - I asked in Pidgin, Boot yah look olsem m buruk yah? (English- Is the boot broken?). He then recognized my voice and responded. “I think I have met you somewhere?”
I looked up and stared at him for a while to figure out where I met this person. I recalled but forgot his name so - just called out FK. When he had that he hugged me and called his name. Guess who he was? Our smiley bus driver during the youth development tour in POM “Leo, the is my food". Praise God I was settled. He helped me put my bags in and we started off. I sat in comfortably and excitedly told stories with him all the way home. We stopped by KMC at Waigani to get some soft drinks and later headed for home stage 2 Gerehu.
God is always near us waiting for us to seek him and for sure in small ways he blesses us. I could see him standing there smiling and handing Leo to me telling me here is the person I whispered to you on that plane about. Praise God .When we seek him and ask him for something with Faith, He provides.
