Prayer Request Updated

Yesterday I sent out a text message to a few of my prayer warriors. I wanted to update everyone & explain in a little more detail.

Monday I was in a mood. I was beginning to get anxious about the flying (you know how I HATE to fly). I was really getting myself worked up. I was thinking of all the things that would happen to my family should something go wrong. I finally had enough & decided to "give it to God." SO, while I was praying I told Him that I knew none of this fear was from Him. I asked Him to give me a peace about flying. I told Him no matter what it took - He was in control.

Tuesday morning Andy calls. Our flight has been CANCELLED. Alright God - You Are In Control. Normally, stuff like this would send me over the edge. But, I realized that He is an almighty powerful God that is interested in the little details of my crazy life. So, while our travel agent was frantically running around trying to "fix" our problem - I knew that it was already being taken care of. I sent out a text asking my friends to pray that we would be on the plane that God wanted us on. This was about Him, not us.

So, now we will be flying from Chicago to Tokyo (I love this airport!!!!) then on to Beijing. We will be getting in about 7 hours later than scheduled, which seems rough, but I think there are some positives. We will get in just in time to go to bed which will help with the time transition. We won't have to worry about keeping ourselves awake all afternoon. Our travel agent told us that there are 2 or 3 other families on this same flight.

I am amazed at how our God works. He didn't have to show me anything - but He did. And I am so thankful. I am sure I will still be anxious come Monday morning, but at least I have a peace about flying there now. I am giving all the glory & honor to Him. He deserves it.

THANK YOU to all of you who lifted us up. I felt it!!!!!!!

By the way, we found out last night - we will meet Hannah Grace the next morning at 9:00!!!!! No more sleeping in. ;0)
