Wednesday the 28....WAIT!?!? NO TUESDAY!!!!!

So I am here sitting in the Minnesota airport waiting for my plane and have just received so much grace and protection.  Okay so as of yesterday up until about 7 pm I was foolishly under the impression that my flight was not until Wednesday at 6.25 am...HOWEVER, around 7 pm realized that my flight was not Wednesday it was in fact TUESDAY.  Now after figuring this out I realized that I am stupid and then panicked a little as the home where I was staying was at least 2 hours away and we had already made a game plan ..needless to say that plan was shot.  Fortunately, the previous few days I have had random amounts of free time and was pretty much already packed up and ready to go.  Thank the Lord!  So I packed up all my bags and needed to weigh them to ensure that I wouldn't be charged extra.  However, there were no scales! Not at our house OR the neighbours!  So remembering that God is bigger than weight I reminded myself of a story my friend Heather told me about one time when her bag was 20lbs over weight but she was neither charged or hassled due to some serious prayer.  So I started praying that my bags would be acceptable...

NOW is when the exciting part happens AAAAHH! Okay so I was never able to weigh my bags and was waiting in line to check in - the whole time just praying for my bags - that they would arrive with me in San Jose, Costa Rica in one piece and not having to pay any fees ( i detest fees).  I had already seen in my online check in that I was going to need to pay for at least one of my bags, but i kept praying the same thing over and over.  So I get to the counter and firstly, my guy is delightful and very helpful...so he punches in my information and says "Okay so you will need to pay for your extra bag $30, would you like to pay credit, debit, or cash" and my  first instinct is always credit...but this time I felt God saying "No pay cash" so I grab my cash and only had $40 so I ask him if he had change..he takes my money and then after being informed that they don't have change looks and my and i quote "Well I didn't get you a Christmas present this year so...here you go" AND HANDS ME BACK MY $40!!! Then they tag my bags - WITHOUT weighing them and tell me to have a good trip! SO PRIME!!!  Customs was also a breeze, after getting in trouble for putting my sweater in the same bin as my laptop.  I walked away with a huge grin, "Oh Jesus you just love me so much, you care that I don't get hassled by airport security, you care that i don't miss my flights, you care that my tummy is rumbly and don't want me to suffer"  for serious, I know I say it ALL the time but I AM blessed!

So to summarize, Minnesota is filled with wonderful super prime people who I will miss dearly but know that we will be reunited once again, I need to learn to read better, and Jesus loves me more than I can comprehend.

Oh man...TOMORROW I will be reunited with so many friends, all gifts from God....what a Christmas!
