1. My flights have been booked for my trip, it is real! On May 13 I will leave Evansville at 10:15 am and arrive in Detroit at 12:41 pm. Then at 2:10 pm I will leave Detroit and arrive in Orlando at 4:49 pm.
I will be staying the night in FL, and the next morning May 14 I will head to Haiti! Then on June 4 I will fly from Haiti to FL and stay the night there. On June 5 I will leave FL at 6:30 pm and arrive in ATL at 8:11 pm. Then at 8:55 pm I will fly from ATL and arrive in Evansville at 9:12 pm, then I will head home!
Yes, it takes 2 whole days to get there.
2. I have raised almost all the money I need for the actual trip! God is too good! I still need a little more for the actual money I have to have on me while I am there.
3. Matt and I have finally gotten a home! We have stayed there two nights and it is great! We are getting cable and internet today so then we will actually be able to just hang out there. It has 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms, a HUGE living room, washer and dryer hook up, a shed, a yard, and.....a DISHWASHER!!! Halleluiah! I am very thankful to have a home that is not an apartment and that we can afford!
4. I am NOT joking, while in the middle of writing the paragraph below I received word that Matt and my dear friend Shorty is cancer free!!! Praise the Lord, He is good and answers prayers!! I know so many people have been praying for Shorty and his health and the Lord has healed him! Shorty is 79 years old with a heart of gold! He takes Matt and I for ice cream and when you see him you can't help but smile. He loves life and lives it to serve the Lord and others. When I found out he was sick I was heart broken! The world was not ready to lose Shorty and the Lord knew that. He is now cancer free and I am Praising the Lord!
God is teaching me that I need to stop worrying! Why do I worry? I know why, cause I'm a control freak and if there is something I cannot control I am going to worry about it! I was really worried about not getting my money raised in time because the trip was official like 3 weeks ago and I leave in a little over a month. I was worried we would never find a home we love that we could afford. I was worried about Shorty and his health. I was worried about so many other things that are not even significant enough to mention. God has got this...He has it all. Why can't I just let Him run with it without worrying about it? Looking back at the first six months of our marriage I have no clue how we survived! I didn't work very many hours at my then job and Matt only had one of his now two jobs. The only way we were able to pay all of our bills is because God had it under control! He blessed us with parents and grandparents always happy to feed us when we had NO food or money for food!
The Lord has found Matt and I a home, is sending me back to Haiti, and healed Shorty! You will not see me today without a smile on my face!!!!
Until next time...Psalm 118:24
