I had just finished writing this blog about how pumped I was
to be leaving, how I knew God had
blessed this trip when I looked up and saw that my flight was delayed. I only had an hour lay over in Newark and now I
had no lay over. I was now getting in
at 7:30 and flying out at 7:30. After talking to the United assistant at the counter and figuring out that every other flight to anywhere that could get me to Shannon was full I
decided I was going to try and still make the 7:30 flight. I was hoping to make up some of the time in the air.
I was staying pretty positive, saying my prayers until they again delayed the
flight another half an hour. Now there was no way I could make my connecting flight. I talked with the lady at the counter some more and decided the best option was to go home tonight and take the same flight out to Shannon tomorrow. I guess that's the catch when I pray that whatever will give Him the glory will happen. Sometimes it's not what I have in mind.
To add insult to injury. They then couldn't locate one of my bags... So after another half an hour of talking to a man about my luggage I finally was leaving MSP. Ironically enough, my brother Jeremiah was getting in from a 3 week visit to Europe so I was able to ride home with Him.
Finding the blessings in the not-exactly-what-I-was-going-for situation. It was great to talk to my brother Jeremiah. He had lots of good advise, info on the best travel sites and where to stay in the city. I got to hear a little about his trip at Chipotli and we talked about him coming to visit me!
So despite the fact that I now don't have a ride to school. (The school only picks us up today and tomorrow.) I will miss the first part of orientation and that I have one less day to get on the new schedule before classes start. I'm choosing to have Joy. I'm choosing to give Him the Glory. Even when I'm not sure what is going on.
