Black and White

Hey prayer warriors!  Fantastic news, J and Fred have landed safely in Santo Domingo in the Dominican.  From the few minutes I have been able to speak with J., there are some amazing works being done by our God throughout Cuba.  And I understand there are some stories about what it's like being "invisible to the enemy"!!!  Gloria a Dios!  As I find out more, I will write them to share the power of our God, for He is mighty and big! 

Everything else is going great.  Aubrey and I are getting ready to head back on Monday, May 5.  And I must say we are ready to see J. and ready to hit the ground running for all the planning and items needing to be accomplished before our first camp in June.  I'm ready to tackle it! 

And just one short story about God taking care of EVERYTHING, as always!  :)  When we found out J was going to Cuba (we didn't know until a few days before he was going to leave), we started making arrangements for Aubrey and I to stay in the States until he was back in the Dominican.  Now, to change the date for our flight is a $200.00 fee plus the difference in plane ticket.  Luckily, Aubrey is still a "lap baby" and doesn't have her own ticket.  So, I was praying for God to make it easy, simple and "black and white" for me because you may not know that I am "resourceful".  J sometimes likes to say I'm "cheap", but I prefer resourceful.  Therefore, I think any amount is too much (I want it to be free!).  :)  I realize that desire is a little ridiculous, but I can dream.  Anyways, so I call and ask about Friday, May 2... which was going to cost $700.00 ($200 for the change and $500 for the difference in ticket)!! (not pesos mind you!)  Immediately a negative.  So the lady (who was amazing) asked about Monday, May 5 because the ticket was..... drumroll.... a -$175.00 difference from our original.  Therefore, we only had to pay $25.00 for the ticket change!!!  Praise God for He answered in the way I needed!!  He made it very "black and white" for me.  And then to top it off, Aubrey's fee was only $40.00 when it is normally about $100.00!!  (Although she doesn't have to buy a ticket yet, she still pays for taxes and fees and such.)  Anyways, just another story of God providing in everything and answering the "small things".  I pray you all continue to seek God even in the "small things" and "red lights"!

Lots of love to all of you!

 

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!  Philippians 4:4
