It's the infinite creativity of God.

He's already done something special in you with your reflections on the trip.<br /><br />He'll take your words and do something that you perhaps may not think extraordinary but one never knows how He uses them in another's heart. And He is slowly transforming you as you write your "small" stories.

Yet, all that you say is so true. I am always enlarged, challenged and inspired by what I see and experience and there are always ideas for stories that may be tucked away for a time but emerge when needed. I feel even more excited now about our upcoming holiday to Russia. Thank you.

I reckon that, just when you least expect it, a memory of that trip will surface in the middle of writing about some character or some event in your next book and you will be able to blend it in in one way or another. And then there are the deeper ways such overseas travel alters us and somehow enlarges us--plus the way our faith is strengthened when we find we can't access our funds as we thought we could or we lose friends or family members!
