TRAVEL PLANS

April 7, 2009
We received confirmation today of our consulate appt. It is set for April 27th and then our swearing in is on the 28th in the late afternoon. We could fly home on the 29th. We will leave for China on April 17th. Issues arise...First even though Gideon is only 18 lbs and unable to sit or walk, he is 2 years old and therefore we have to purshase a seat for him. We have been given enough frequent flyer miles for mine and Tim's seats. The problem is that we can't get a return flight until May 2nd. This is 3 days longer than we need to be there. That is 3 days of food and hotel we had not budgeted for. So the ticket for Gideon and the 3 extra days of hotel are fees we don't currently have. Not to mention the increase on all the fees in China that we hadn't counted on. But it all just doesn't matter. I am putting it in the Lord's hands. My friend is calling the airline in the morning to see if anything opened up for a return flight sooner than the 2nd and we'll take it from there. Please be in prayer for a flight home before the 2nd and for us to somehow get the money we need to pay all the extra fees we hadn't counted on not to mention food and essential expenditures that may come up. The Lord can and will provide exactly what we need! He is "the Mover of Mountains!" Tomorrow is a new day! And it is one day closer to getting Gideon!
