Stuck on the tarmac...

Here we sit on the tarmac of Great Inguana in the Bahamas. We have clearance to land in Port au Prince but are required to park on the grass and the pilot says the jet cannot park on the grass. We have prayed that the Lord would make a way. The pilot even said if it happened in the next few minutes that he would go to church next Sunday…yet nothing happened. There is conflict between the people taking us and the pilots over whether or not to just go and deal with the parking once we arrive. I was laying under the jet wondering why God wouldn’t allow us a way but then was reminded of the prayers of the Hatian people asking for aid that has not come, asking for the safety of their daughter to be rescued from the rubble but her not being rescued as I saw on CNN. God’s will can be confusing at times. What is my decision, is whether or not to trust him and just do my best to serve.

  1. So good to read your thoughts....
    Praying for you as you make yourself available for service to the Haitians...
    Know that everyone is seeing to the needs of your family....of course, nothing like you being there but since you can't be in two places at the same time....rest assured we will do what is needed for Heather and the kids.
    Love and prayers, Mom
