This has been an interesting adventure for me already. For 21 days and 21 nights I have been going about, working in darkness (night shift) 12+ hours a night. Went to the doctor the day before my trip, wondering why I felt so sluggish and sick- well I had had a stomach virus up to that point. Thankfully, God has given me a great immune system that the doctors cleared me. Had an upset occasion the night before with my family that left me upset. And I was advised to stay at home and rest for the night instead of driving to Atlanta...which I took.
Woke up the next day. The sun was shinning the weather was fair. My cell phone was dead and it was 12pm central time--which is 1pm est. The Swampcorp group was supposed to meet up at 1:30pm at the airport and I was still 3.5 hours away in Alabama with the addition of an hour time difference.
Initially I wanted to flip out. I prayed and chanted "Father your in control. Guide my steps...if you want me to go I will, if not I won't." I cried and Satan was right there tempting me to curse God, wreck my car...to turn around and explode! BUT... my Father was right there in the car with me. Keeping me in peace. I called Jeff crying "I am not going to make the trip...I am still in Alabama." He encouraged me that things will work out and to continue to pray. Traffic slowed drastically after that. But I kept praying knowing my Family was praying and that my Father ws right there saying "I am the resurrection and the life...do you believe this?" I cried.
To condense my testimony due to time and my slow texting skills... I made it safely to the airport with time to eat and 30 mins to spare! Nothing but God! I did speed but no tickets or accidents...guess I wasn't under the Law sorta speak. As I sat on the plane I smiled. I said "thank you Daddy, I Love You." I hope that this will be a testament of your glory. I could only think of His words back to me..."Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" My heart blushed.

Tia! This is Grayson/Jacob's mom... I literally prayed for you from the time that we knew you were running late until the plane took off! God is amazing and I am so encouraged to see how he will use you in India!
