SO TODAY IS THE DAY! I left for Budapest. Oh boy have we had an adventure!
Snow: So we hear at about 11:15 am that our flight from New York to Budapest may have been canceled because New York is expecting more than 15 inches of snow. We pray :) I love it!
Step one... We get to the airport and find out there is only an hour delay. That is not bad at all. So we continue our way in the baggage check line.
As two team members checks in their bags, the third does an attempt at it but finds out, ALL FLIGHTS TO NEW YORK HAVE BEEN CANCELED... AHHHHH
Step two, we wait....... for 3 maybe 4 hours before we find out that we may not get out of Michigan until... Monday??? We pray again!
We went back and forth with the airport about when we could leave for maybe an two hours and find out some solid news.
Good news: we can leave Saturday morning.
Bad news: only nine can go Saturday morning, the other four have to leave Sunday night.
Need less to say it was very challenging! Lots more prayer.
Chaotic, exahsting, and adventurous... I'm still in Michigan!
However, tomorrow morning at 8:40am I'll be on my way to Chicago with a 7 hour layover. Maybe I can see my baby brother??? :) I would be very excited if I could. Then from Chicago to Amsterdam. And finally from Amsterdam to Budapest arriving on Sunday around noon.
God for sure has a plan for the way he made things happen today, but we are so clueless as to what it is. I'm encouraged through conversation. Maybe God has it planned that someone in this unpredictable mess will come to know the Lord.
Please pray that our flights are safe, and pray for the second half of our team, so they are not discouraged and disheartened from waiting longer.
Pray for whoever it may be that we come to know that their heart is opened and ready.
God bless that 20ish inches of New York snow!
I am so glad that stuff got worked out for all of you! I know God is going to use you in amazing ways that you never thought possible. I love you and am praying for you and this trip.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us your trip! I pray for a safe and fulfilling trip for you! I am sure you will be taking lots of great pictures! Much love,
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you. People draw closer together in airports with nothing to do but talk! So sorry that you were delayed, but am certain that all "things will work together for good" as you are called to His purpose.
