Where the Spirit of the Lord is

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I had a pastor once who used to say: “stay in the zone!” He meant: walk in the Spirit; abide in the vine.

Recently I went to Baktopur here in Nepal. It is an ancient city that abuts Kathmandu. There, I was able to do some pottery on a wheel and loved it. Today I met an elderly American woman who has lived here in Nepal for around 60 years as a missionary. She wanted to meet me and discover what manner of person I am as I have invited two Nepali women to flat with me and she was concerned for them. I discovered we have much in common, one major things was Art. We talked excitedly on mediums of paint, the university here offering an Art degree, a three year course which also carried a three year visa. I am interested as I sense an exciting path here. One I would love to take. I have asked my Nepali friend Martha to take me to the uni so that I can inquire. Oh! I would love to do this! How does it fit with all I am?

This woman, Miriam, is in her 90’s and still rides a motor scooter. I have been challenged. I have a license and would be able to learn again if I can master my fear of the unruely traffic.

What  excitement awaits me! Amen!
