Praise!

God has been so good to me.

And on top of that, a friend of mine has connections to good service at the airport (yes, it apparently does exist if you're one of those "special" people!), and he got someone on the phone who was able to change my flight to Brazil from Tuesday to Friday for about $45 dollars.... MUCH different from the estimated $700 I had been told to expect. Praise the Lord! So as of now I am scheduled to leave Atlanta Friday, May 16, then I will be able to stay until I can return home with the team from RCC... and without getting the Brazilian police involved! Always a good thing!

I just need to say it again: God is so good. I'm in one of those places in my life where it is really easy to say that- I can see and touch and enjoy so many incredible blessings God is giving me. I know that a lot of life is not this way. But nevertheless, the Lord is good all the time, no matter my circumstances. My prayer is that the Lord will help me to cling to him all of the time, and that when the tough part of life shows its face again, my foundation can not be shaken, because it is built on Jesus Christ- the Solid Rock, and the only solid foundation there is. I am so thankful for the grace he offers you and me- certainly not because of anything I have done, but because he chooses to love us deeply. I can't wait to watch his glory continue to unfold!
