I've read in books stories of plane rides where people got to minister to others. That being on my mind and heart as my brother was being driven to the airport, I prayed. Asking God to take care of who I would be sitting next to on the flight, I didn't have a clue what He had in store for me.
I was reading "The Great Divorce" by C.S Lewis, when the woman who was sitting next to me asked if I liked the book, and it all went wonderfully up-hill from there. She knew about Gordon - which was just some more of God's awesome way of confirming things for me. We shared life, ministry, and God - we even prayed at the end of the flight! Isn't it amazing how involved in our lives God can be? He can take - as long as you ask - something as typical and mundane like a plane flight and turn into a wonderful divine intervention of His awesomeness.
And this was just the plane flight!
I got to attack my mom with hugs when she met me at baggage claim as well as throughout the day. It's great getting to be able to talk to HER and not to her on the phone. To be able to laugh together, goof off together, it's a joy!
I still had to get thing set for La Vida, so a good chunk of the day we went to Walgreens, Market Basket, and Wal-Mart. I got all that I need (Sunglasses - $15. Sunblock - $8. Bug Spray - $5. Knowing you're going to have a wonderful time out in God's creation - priceless.), except for biodegradable soap. WTFT! (What the french toast) We are going to check out Whole Foods (praying we will be successful).
Now, I can not keep my eyes open for any longer. I get to go on a campus visit at Gordon tomorrow!!! Sweet Dreams all!
