In both high school and college, I had a lot of travelling experiences--probably more than most students. In my first year of college in England, I went to visit family near Scandinavia at Christmastime; and when the school year ended, I had a train pass to travel around Western Europe for a month.... My train trip was safe and successful, at that time, and when I arrived back on the school grounds, I felt very blessed! I spontaneously prayed a prayer that God would use me to help a LOT of people! Then I forgot about it.... But, if I may say, I don't think God did. We haven't seen all the results of the police project yet...but one day they'll announce what's been going on....
Have had many ups and downs in my life, which I've explained separately, but they say travel is good for writers.... I believe it makes them more knowledgeable and open-minded. Not that travel was my only asset or resource, but I also believe my travel was good for me. It was a positive investment in my life and nobody forced it on me.--I consciously chose it, without very much direct input from my parents. (My church and school encouraged me somewhat.)
My travels were such a source of satisfaction, education, and delight for me; and I prayed a special prayer.--I didn't want to think only of myself.... Sometimes God takes His time to answer us but I believe He wants everything that would be good for us; and I believe there's a lot that has been and will be good in the police project--in spite of some frivolity and human error and weakness....
