So now it's is April 22, 2015 and I have to admit I was not excited to still be in the USA nor was I looking forward to making this call to Priceline. So I slept another hour. When I woke up I saw that I had messages from Rein on voxer, Rein's mom, and Stephanie. I did not have anything to report yet so I ignored them all and fixed me something to eat. I did not want to talk to anyone until I knew what God would say.
I don't know about you, but I get weird wen people try to encourage me but all the while make me feel worse. I just did not want to hear the cliches. I just wanted to know what God would say. After breakfast, I checked a few emails, and then I said okay Linda... time to stop stalling. Call Priceline. The moment of truth was here.
I dialed the number and got another representative.I began to explain my situation and she saw all the notes that had been made the day before. She asked me a few questions, put me on hold and came back with the authorization from China Southern to get on the Thursday flight. I smiled. She hen figured out what it would cost me to get on the flight with all the change fees and would you know it. It was $10.00 cheaper than the originally quoted price. My mouth dropped. Did God just do it again? Yes, he did. She informed that I would get a confirmation email in 2-4 hours.
Stephanie had put a fleece before God the night before and God had answered. So now I got busy, cleaning, doing laundry and tidied my room. And because I knew that my luggage could only be 40 lbs and my carry on could only be 12lbs. I made sure that they were and put then at the front door. Along with my purse like carry on which had my PASSPORT in the purse like pouch. I would not forget it this time.
When I got the email, I called Priceline just to confirm everything was done right. I did not want to take any chances. When I got off the phone, I did a two-step to the Lord. It was done. Once again, I would be on my way to the Philippines. Pastor Cailing had been messaging me and asking where I was. I told him what happened but that I would be leaving the next day so I would see them when I got there. He said the intercessors would be praying for me and safe travels.
After everything was done and confirmed. I got busy working again on my publishing projects. Now as I pondered on the events that led up to this. I know now that God was teaching me to trust him. As I stated before I would rather worry than trust, anyone including god. So I believe this was showing me that God was in control and he would work it for the good.
I am so quick to jump to being the victim in a situation. I am quick to believe that God would do harm than good. that somehow I don't deserve good things to happen to me. That the miracles, I hear about God doing the impossible, somehow are not meant for me. I know that is the immediate lesson but why I had to go through the missing of the flight. the truth is at this point I don't care all I know is I'm one more step closer to completely trusting God, first. So the journey continues.
Stop by tomorrow to read what happened on April 23rd.
You are Bound No More.
