Third Times a Charm

I preface this by saying that God is always on the throne. And it is wonderful to watch how He causes us to trust Him. Thank you for praying along with us.

We traveled to Phoenix Sunday morning to board our 4:40 pm flight to LAX. Because we had two airplane carriers we had to check in at the terminal. We boarded our plane on time and began to taxi to the runway, when suddenly the plane stopped. There was a mechanical problem: the primary electrical generator went out. The backup still worked, but they did not want to take any chances. We disembarked from the plane so the issue could be corrected. 

Four hours later we boarded the flight a second time and waited as the plane refueled. Marc and I looked out the window and saw an ominous sky; a storm was brewing. Phoenix closed the airport grounding all flights. We disembarked for a second time. It was getting close to when we needed to be at LAX for our connecting flight to Sydney.

When we arrived at LAX it took some time to find our gate, only to find that the flight to Sydney had left a half hour ago. The agent was able to get us on a flight to Brisbane at 12 midnight, and a connecting flight to Sydney the following day. We made it to Sydney on Tuesday morning, but our luggage did not follow; they did not know what flight to put it on as the Brisbane flight was the last minute. We contacted the baggage area and they will be able to bring it to the Global Recordings office.

During this flight, Diane had an opportunity to talk with a gal, A, that just lost both her parents. She needed to be in LA on Monday. Diane sensed that there was something that was going on. When A told her what happened, she gave her a hug, prayed with her, and encouraged her that things would work out. It is all about divine appointments.
