my first flight from Chicago to San Francisco was all God- I felt it :) I sat next to a very cordial 20yr. old from the UK, and talked to her about what she was doing and what the UK was like- then we both fell asleep: me because I need to stay awake right now until my China flight at 2:05am Cali time, and she had bad jet lag because it was 4am London time. I'm not actually thinking that I am jet lagging yet, but I will definitely get confused on my China flight since I can't have my cell phone on and my computer will probably die.
In China, I set it up so I will be asissted through customs and security before I get on my flight to Indonesia and I am just so ready to hug my new-found family and relax.
I don't start school until September 20th, which I'm so excited about- because I'll have time to gel in with the clan over there :)
I just realized I am really excited to be a part of their lifestyle, and be with God, and grow with God, and do what He wants me to do- because that is my purpose. and I'm so stoked to feel Him in a different language, a different culture, and around different people.
He's already showed himself here on my flight-
we were able to change my one bag to another bag that was easier to carry and i was very doubtful that it would work and i really thought my mom was a bit crazy, but God made it actually underweight. No Doubt it was Him :) then I got something on the sweatpants i was going to wear: my first test, becuase I didn't even know how it got there.
At the airport, the lady let Mom and Dad both come back behind security with me and they let us through ahead of everyone.
On the plane I was sitting next to the 20yr. old, and even if I was feeling a bit lonely, I was able to get some rest.
Without thinking about it, I have been getting lonely. But that may change drastically when I actually arrive and start talking to people :)
Also, I got through security at this airport easily too, and the gate to get my boarding pass was easily found too. We thought they would give me grief because of a mess-up in the Visa, but they didn't question it one cent :)
HEY GOD, I SEE YOU WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!
other than that, I'm eating, and if anyone has any ideas of what to do on the china flight or wants to talk right now:: I'd love to!!
I read this amazing passage my mom read to me: i'll post bits of it throughout- but it's got me thinking right and I'm so glad I'm in this with God because He already knows how it's going to go and has sent His angels ahead of me :)
