SPY Trip to Bolivia: Day Nine [7.25]

Well, our flight left La Paz at 8:45am. I can't believe it's over, but I'm so content all at the same time...God did more things than could ever be listed...and I know that that knowledge and the deepening of my relationship with Him will always affect me. Now it's just looking back and attempting to share the things that happened with everyone who wants and needs to know. God provides.

When we got on our connection flight from Santa Cruz to Miami, the same flight attendant from the trip down was on the plane...today was supposed to be her day off, so it is just by chance that she is on this eight-hour flight with us. Chance? Nah...sovereignty...55:8. I hope that our presence on this plane today serves as an encouragement and confirmation to her. May she grow ever stronger. And He made me fall asleep for about an hour, even though I was too stubborn to realize that it was necessary...and when I woke up, He had provided a much-needed lunch for my sustenance. He is good.

We got to Miami and a few people had connecting flights home that night. But most of us had one more night together at the hotel. We got in late, had a pizza dinner at 11:30, and just hung out for a while. The next morning, people were leaving in shifts to go to the airport to catch their flights. It was so bittersweet to have to say goodbye to the people who had become our family for the week. But these friendships are not over...they are just beginning. The Lord Almighty is sovereign.
