The Eagle Has Landed



"We are experiencing technical difficulties."

This announcement greeted us aboard Flight 1203 with non-stop service from Charlotte to
Antigua.


"But everything had been going so smoothly!!!!" While I made every attempt to remain calm (you know, for the sake of morale for the troops), I have visions of Jet Blue's NINE hour delay with stranded passengers held hostage on the plane while the gate was within eyesight danced through my head. My blood pressure began to rise and I was doing my best to keep my claustrophobia in check. Meanwhile, US Airways took good care of us while grounded and two hours later, we took off for an uneventful flight for Antigua.


Needless to say, all is well... we are tired and ready for some sleep... but more importantly, ready for our adventure! Bring it on, God! We are ready!

God's delays are always in perfect timing with His perfect will... but you already knew that. And easier for those not sitting and waiting. Everything good here. Miss you already. Praying each day (what's new?). Love you guys (all of you'all).

Keep the faith...Keep safe...and God will give you souls for your efforts. Not only you but your young adults that are with you will have an experience that could change their lives and they will never forget how great it feels to give to the Lord!
