So, I'm here. God does crazy things, and this is definitely one of them. Leaving 6 weeks earlier than expected for a completely different location than what I had originally planned. When am I going to learn? I just need to stop planning all together.
If you know me at all you'd know I'm the biggest procrastinator ever. EVER. So packing two days in advanced was a huge step for me. I was proud of myself for that. But I lost any points I gained from that this afternoon when I showed up to the airport only 30 minutes before my flight instead of the suggested full hour. I thought it was just a suggestion? I get inside the airport, see the Southwest line. Oh shoot. I've never seen the airport so busy. Naturally, I begin to panic a little. I get to the front of the check in line to check my bags in. I'm 20 minutes to my flight now. My bag is 49.6lbs. Keep in mind the weight limit is 50lbs. I breathe a little sigh of relief. Until she puts a bright green tag on my bag that says "LATE." She goes on to tell me my bag might not make my flight. Stress. I continue onto the security line and this line is even longer than the first. 17 minutes to take off. Then a song we sang at church this morning popped in my head. "Our God" by Chris Tomlin. And I began to pray. And pray some more. I prayed nonstop the whole time I was in line. Let me tell you, God is so much greater than anything we see as an obstacle. I have never seen airport security move so dang fast. I was through the line in 10 minutes. As soon as I got to my gate my section was boarding. Perfect timing. God's timing is always perfect timing.
I'm happy to say I am here and so are my bags. Safe and sound, just a little hot. Once again Papa proves He is in control.
Here is the address at the base in case you want to be lovely and send me stuff:
