As our departure date draws near, we find an Icelandic volcano threatening to stop air traffic through London, while flights are being canceled due to a British Airways strike. (British Airways is our connection from London to Nairobi...) While these seem like potentially enormous obstacles, I choose to look at these situations as opportunities to draw nearer to God. I do not claim to know God's plan, but I trust Him in all things and this is no different. God is bigger than volcanoes and strikes!
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:4-9
As we pray about these things, we cannot help but notice both issues center on London. Therefore, we will look into changing our flights and trust God for the results.
Thank you for your prayers and thank you for following our blog! Until next time, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
