Across the pond minus one?

We arrived safely into London on Saturday morning. We thank God and praise him as he answered many prayers and logistical issues. One issue in particular demonstrated that depending on God is the only way.

As we checked into our flight everybody checked in except one. The airline had a reservation but the travel agent did not pay the airline so the reservation was dropped. After speaking with the travel agent we were told that this team member would have to wait until the next day and then fly out. This however was not acceptable and after much prayer and speaking to many supervisors we were able to fix the issue and get this team member on the plane. We rejoiced in how God answered our prayers and made a way. god though was not finished in demonstrated our need for dependance in everything. As we left security to rejoin the rest of the team at the gate we entered the airport train, just as the doors were closing our team member dropped their ticket and passport. The ticket fell through the gap between the train and platform falling to the tracks, but the passport fell inside the train and we were able to grab it before it went into the gap. What a nightmare that would have been!

After going through this much before the plane left I started to wonder what was next and started to worry about our trip. Our father though gently reminded me though that he was in charge and I didn't need to worry but instead depend, even in the small things. How easy it is for us to forget but what a blessing it is when we do intentionally depend on God for His provision and protection.

More to come...
