Just a brief update!!
What a sweet treat to meet the team in Texas. The ladies are all precious.
From Idaho, Indiana, Texas, Missouri, Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma and from the opposite side of the world! Seriously, some of the sweetest bunch of ladies this side of heaven…
All taking their days to go to Africa to love on the orphans there….amazing!
We are in Europe right now waiting for our next flight – to Uganda!
There were about 45 bags total {lost count!}.
The flight to Europe was very, very, very, very bumpy. I heard somewhere that those huge jumbo jets were very smooth. Haha. Bless their heart – whoever said that was totally not telling the truth. We bounced all over. It was difficult to sleep or eat or read or anything but pray.
And one last evidence of God’s loving protection…
We had a long layover here in Europe. So we decided to go tour the city while on this 12 hour layover. I had my backpack on me as we rode the Underground subway. All of a sudden, while standing in the crowd, I felt I should turn my backpack around and wear it on my front.
I gasped when I did.
Two zippers were completely open!!
Inside the once-zippered pouches had been my camera
and in the other pouch a wad of cash.
My heart sunk!
And as I peered inside the pouches…
The wad of cash – still completely there!
And my camera??
Safely sitting exactly in plain view!!
That would be our Miracle-working, Mountain-moving, Awe-inspiring,
Gasp-giving God totally no doubt blinding the eyes of the pick pocket.
Truly, if you could have seen how the compartments were gaping completely open, you would know that God obviously had hidden them – even though they were in plain sight.
Please pray us to Uganda on a smooth flight!
praying for a safe flight and that God will continue to give you all favor and protection.
That's the $1 backpack right? The one that was annointed from the start!
Praying.
I LOVE Dawn's comment above! Obviously the Lord!
I leave Thursday for Guinea-Bissau, West Africa! Can't wait to see what the Lord is doing in Uganda, in GB and here in the US!
Thanks for the update, just messaged you on facebook about smooth ride before I read this!!! Will be praying for you all.
Goose bumps over the rucksack!!!! Especailly as I will be there in 10 days time with Samuel too! xxx
praying for your protection!
Dawn, You are so right!! Yes that is the $1.00 backpack that was anointed from the beginning….totally miraculous!!
Thank you ALL for praying….
Our flight has been delayed and no boarding information. We should already be on plane. Hmmm.
I love Dawn's comment too. Praying for safety and a smooth ride. Hugs
Praying for safety for you all! That is awesome with the backpack! Cant wait to hear about your trip!

That reminds me of Corrie ten Boom and her Bible that the Lord permitted her to smuggle in with her in concentration camp, He is so good! 🙂 What I suppose is that an angel put his hand in front of the smuggler's eye so he/she just can't see. 🙂
Awesome! 🙂
That sounds like the Underground I know to me, but also sounds like our God too!
Hey Becky! I may be there the same time as you…yet to confirm tho.. wanna do one of the big museums one day if we are? I'll be staying near the Jubilee line…… (interesting in itself don't you think!). Where will you be? text me honey!xxx
Praise the Lord your things were kept hidden by God…and praying for a safe journey to Uganda…All is well…all is well…all manner of things are well In Jesus Name…
Praying, praying, praying! Lord, continue to bless these sweet ladies as they go. Thank you for your hand of protection over their lives and possessions. You are faithful and we pray that we will be found faithful to You.
Praise God for keeping you and your backpack safe. Thank you for sharing this special journey. Will continue to pray for you all.
