No Camels Available!

So we rush to the airport and when we get here half of us don't have tickets: Rorabaughs, Williams, Cameron, Adam, and Barbara are stuck. Our tickets were dated July 16th on an email receipt dated may 11th but the agent today says our tickets were for last Saturday, not sure what happened.  Aaarg!  So here we sit trying to get on the only other flight later today. Right now there are only 8 seats on that flight. We may have to pay more (well someone will.). Anyway here we sit. I have been frustrated, angry (very), and despondent. Then I said to Wade we should pray and asked the ticket agent lady if she prayed and would she like to join Wade and me in prayer. She did and it helped. Not sure why this is happening. I wonder if Paul ever had issues like this: "I specifically asked for a two hump camel." "I am sorry sir. We have no reservation for you under your name. Would be you interested in this small donkey? Otherwise you will have to wait for the next caravan to come through." I can just hear Paul's reply: "I will wait.  BTW, have you heard about Jesus?" Ha ha. Anyway, it was all worth it. I can't begin to tell you what a great week we had...two weeks! I believe with all my heart the word was taught and people listened and we will see the fruit of it for days, months, and years to come. If I have to spend a little time on the floor of the ticketing booth at the Barbados airport for amazing things to happen then so be it. Although I must confess I am tired and ready to be home. Thanks for following our blog. What an incredible journal of faith and inspiration. Perhaps we should read once per month just to remember why we do what we do...or should do. Love to all. Pray for our travel to be safe and for some seats to open up. Jeff
