Hola! We all got here safely after 31 hours of traveling and only about 6 hours of sleep over two days. Please spread the Word that something great has got to happen because we{ve seen so very crazy things happen already!
Wow! What an eventful day of travel- We got caught in a thunderstorm so we had to circle near Miami before we got the OK to land.
We later learned that we were one of two planes that snuck in to land before another big storm came in- I didn{t mention that our original plane in LA was taken out of service at 6 AM so we waited until 7AM to be rerouted to another plane for Miami.
The good thing about the thunder storm was that all the departing flights were grounded also, meaning our connection flight was there boarding after running for 10 MINUTES, from one terminal to another.
What seemed like it was going to be the beginning of one flight of being delayed to cause a ripple effect to our next 2 connecting flights- was a lesson on readjusting our time scale to be event oriented rather than time oriented.
Actually, this is one of the things that I look forward to a when I come to Bolivia, the centrality of relationships and events you do together to trust God and serve Him.
Why is this event centered and relationship centered life so hard when I return to LA? I{m pulled between being "trustworthy and timely" and yet valuing relationships and events rather than focusin on staying on schedule.
This is where my European roots and upbringing kick in and are juxtaposed to my love for people and my heart to make a sustaining impact on people{s lives
Food for thought: Have you experienced this? How do you keep your priorities of relationships in you daily life?
