This
morning I woke up with thoughts of all that today would bring. I began
to get butterflies as I thought about being in Italy in less than 24
hours. I was filled excitement and
joy that the Lord would be with me where ever I go! I said a tearful goodbye to my younger sister, finished packing, and headed to the airport with my parents. Little did I
know that I would be back that afternoon....
Sooo
long story short, I left this morning with my bags packed and my heart
ready for the coming adventure, only to return a few hours later with a
sad little frown on my face. My plane had been delayed due to some ice
storms in Chicago, and I missed my connecting flight to Rome.
Unfortunately there were no other flights going out to Rome tonight,
so home we went.
Nice try, airport. You can't thwart my plans! I'm going to Italy tomorrow
morning! SO HAH. I was rather melancholy on the way home; but on the
bright side, I get another night home with my family!
It is quite a letdown to be missing out on the first day with the rest
of my classmates, but God has a reason for everything and I trust His
plans more than mine.
If
you are reading this today, please be praying for my travels. I'll be doing it all again tomorrow... but this time I would love
to make it to my destination :) For now, time to enjoy the gift of
extra time with my family.
