So after our time at Fox Glacier we set off for Punakaiki where the pancake rocks are. Our drive there was incredible these pictures do little justice to what you could see you the windows of the bus, but there was more to that bus ride up to Punakaiki than the views out the window. A lady from the Netherlands who had moved to Australia and was now traveling New Zealand sat down in the seat beside me about a half hour into our trip and eventually we got to talking.
Before I can explain what followed I guess I have to explain a bit of who I am.. a few years back I became a Christian, I could no longer deny that Jesus Christ was the son of God and that he died on the cross. I decided that I wanted to be in a personal relationship with the God that created me and since then I have seen crazy thing happen in my life as I have prayed and trusted God with my life. I guess meeting Trudy was one of those things. She was an incredible Christian lady who shared her life with me, she taught me alot and told me some crazy stories of what she had seen God do in her life. It was not only an encouragement to me but an absolute answer to prayer.
After arriving in Punakaiki we found our way to the little cottage we had rented for the night and dropped of our stuff before heading to the beach and up to the pancake rocks. The next morning we explored a small cavern there before heading further up the west coast to Nelson.
If what I have said about what I believe in this post interests you and you want to know more about anything just let me know. Also I just want to say that I don’t intend to offend anyone with my beliefs but I can’t write a blog about my life without sharing the most important part of my life and that is my relationship with Jesus Christ.
