Praise!

I Just wanted to tell you a praise: today I went out to lunch with my friend Julia and I was telling her about a little anxiety I was having. You see, 6 years ago I flew down to Costa Rica for the very first time. I was going there to learn Spanish after I graduated from college. The Spanish school I chose had a big brother/big sister program. This program was to help the incoming students find a place to live, show them where things were, and to pick them up from the airport. Well, when I arrived in January 2005 there was nobody at the airport. I was in a foreign country with no ride and no idea where to go. I didn't even know how to call my family back home for help. To add to my stress, I was toting two 70 pound suitcases.(I was moving there for half a year) Therefore, I couldn't move to far. Thankfully after standing around for 2 hours or so and being haggled by the taxi drivers one of them offered me his cell phone. I called the school and by the fifth try someone picked up. It was a Sunday afternoon and the school is closed but this someone had forgotten something and returned to the office. I believe the Lord intervened to help me. So eventually I got to where I needed to be and for my big sister, I can't be upset with her, her father died and she went back to the US to go to his funeral.

Since this time, I have flown many times into Costa Rica and every time I have a little anxiety that my ride won't be there. So, just after telling this story to my friend Julia, I received an email from the missionaries assuring me that my ride would be there. The Lord is FAITHFUL in His timing!
