Man, what an amazing and rough week.
Tomorrow (aka today) I head to Atlanta then to Rwanda!
I have no idea what to expect and I feel as I overpacked. Everything would be easier if for everything we had a play by play with every detail on what was needed, what was expected to happen, and so on. You know your in God's will when life doesn't work that way because if it did we wouldn't have to trust Him with our plans and future.
So lookig back on this week so many things went wrong, but God worked it out. One awesome thing about this week is i had an opportunity to procrastinate with my packing but was able to help lead a group coming to my home town for a mission trip! That was awesome, but it was short lived because, well, a lot just happened this week and thats okay.
First, I needed one of my wisdom teeth pulled well after going to two dentists and being rejected (well tooth pulling was) I got hooked up with a oral surgeon who took me in wednesday morning. We waited hours and then finally my name was called but when I went to pay I didn't have the right credit card, but luckily my aunt was there and paid with her own money. My aunt being there was such a blessing. Because we got to talk about travel since she's been to more countries than I have. She has supported me so much whether woth extra money or by buying bug repellent and just by her support. I feel as she adds a lot if ease to my parents with her knowledge of travel around the world. Well after a few misses with the needle I suggested my left arm, and luckily that worked better. As soon as I asked if that worked I was out and don't remember anything until I got out of the chair. My tooth came out and it was a big sucker! Part of it was broken off, but I'm pretty sure they got it all out. Now I have a swollen face and some stiches all ready for the flight! Speaking of flight, my flight was canceled just tonight around dinner time. I thought how am I going to get to Atlanta in time for training if my flight is canceled! God is in control and be has a plan. Well, we went down to the airport and asked about my flight and the changes that had been made. There was a lot of confusion on both ends. So finally we worked out where I would fly out of San Antonio and take a solid flight to Atlanta and land 2 hours before needing to be there! Perfect, well not exactly now we have to drive to San Antonio. So we did just that. They paid for a hotel where I am currently at about to get a two hour nap before breakfast and my 10 am flight! There is a reason for this flight change so I am going to be lookig for the divine appointment and if it was just the fact that God wanted my trust and see that I would trust Him, that's fine too because I do. I successfully did not panic or had a meltdown and things worked out!
Praise God that I got everything packed, made it to San Antonio and now just to get on that plane in a few hours! Can't sleep so excited!! Still can't believe that I am going back to Africa and this time for a whole month!
Thank you all for your prayers! Means so much!
God works all things for the good of those who love him. He sure showed me that this week.
Good night and good morning!
Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Gid and arealled according to His purpose.
