Sitting in the Chicago Airport waiting for the last leg of the journey....a 10:15 flight to Nashville. After traveling since 3:45 yesterday afternoon it is abundantly clear to Nicole and I that your prayers have been answered. Every step of the way, God has taken care of all the details. As I look back to the events of the last 28 hours it amazes me how even our smallest needs were met...from the bulkhead seating on the 12 and 1/2 hour flight and the bassinet that was waiting for us in the overhead to the man who allowed me to use his credit card (after I paid him the equivalent in American cash) in China because they would not take an American credit card to the very small acts of kindness the big guy whose son plays football at Iowa offered to us in Shanghai and the little American woman who was traveling home from a mission trip in India who offered encouragement and the man who offered us space in his overhead compartment because we ran out of room in ours. We have run into more special people during the last 30 hours than I can remember or could write here. Time and time again, whether by a specific act of an individual or by me stumbling across information that I needed to know but did not, God has made Himself known and it was clear that He was preparing a path for us.
I've been skeptical in the past, but I've been convinced during the last two weeks.....God cares about the details.
