Pre-Trip Preparations

To reach this point at the airport, it has been an amazing ride! Miracles upon miracles, the Lord never fails to surprise us, with sponsorships coming in at the last hour. (The last 4 days in a month of sourcing and praying)

We decided to fly up 5 days early to Rome, so as to be able to see the surrounding cities, take a nice break and also to prepare ourselves spritually before the conference. So we went on with planning the accomodation, book the flight, busy ourselves with the rest of the administrative details and applications.

According to dictionary.com, a coincidence is "a striking occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance"

Of course, good Catholics as we are, we don't believe anything happens by chance ya? *grin

Heavenly "Coincidence" #1.
Only on the weekend before we flew up, did we realise that we were going to fly up one day after Pentecost! Being sent forth one day after Pentecost, and in a pair! How biblical!

Heavenly "Coincidence" #2
Fr Luke being posted to our parish, from having studied and stayed in Rome, giving us priceless advice for the trip, and also praying and helping us source for benefactors. He told us, "Pray hard, and money will rain down like Pentecostal Fire!" Amen amen. =)

Heavenly "Coincidence" #3
There were many more pre-trip preparation coincidences, but if they were all written down one by one , i suppose that the whole blog could not hold the words that will be typed.(neither will my fingers take it) But these are written so that you may believe.

To God be the glory!
