Once again, yours truly was blessed. My company let me leave on the 7th and so on the 8th, I hopped a plane. My bags were packed, I wuz ready to go and so I went.
But, I didn't tell the family I was coming so, at 04h00 on the 8th, I arose, chucked my meagre belongings and myself into my hired car and hied me thither unto the airport. After confirming a free upgrade to business class, I flew from Bahrain to Abu Dhabi, where I lounged in the business clas lounge and caught a flight to Heathrow after 4 or so hours of said lounging.
Upon arrival at Heathrow, I proceeded to catch a bus to Luton airport and then a cab to the house. I got the cabbie to drop me down the road, snuck up, rang the bell and hid around the corner. Janene looked out the window and declare to all and sundry that there was no-one there. She then opened the front door (perhaps not the entirely wisest move) whereupon I announced my presence to the surprise and (fortunately) delight of all present who, (fortunately) numbered only 3.
So now here I am looking for a job and trusting in God for His provision. Please continue to pray.
This week has been interesting, with plumbers fixing floods, meetings with recruitment companies and the odd pint of bitter thrown (or should that be sloshed?) in for good measure.
We've also spent some time visiting parks and countryside - something you can't do in Dubai. What a blessing - to be able to do outdoors stuff for free as a family.
Apart fro the overwhelming beauty here, the other overwhelming thing is how expensive everything is. Quite a shock. Lots of eating out is a thing of the past for the Balls and we have to be really careful until I start earning an income.
We're also looking for a church - have visited a couple but not sure where to settle.
Blessings to all for now.
