Europe 2010

In Madrid. We flew out of NYC Monday night and got to Lisbon, Portugal Tuesday. Yes Portugal, and yes we had no intention of going to Portugal, but thank God that he can take us where we need to be even if we have no earthly idea. I had never heard of Lisbon until Monday when the airport lady told us we could be numbers 19 and 20 on the standby list, the shortest standby list to anywhere in Europe. thinking there was no way we would make it but having to wait to fly back to Tulsa anyway, we figured why not. We then asked what country Lisbon was in at it had not crossed our mind that we were about to get on a plane and go to a country we know nothing about and where they speak a language we don't know. This was because neither one of us really thought we would make the flight. Then when the plane was boarding they called our names and we were as shocked as if we had won the lottery! That's when we realized that we have no idea what we are doing. It was such an amazing feeling getting on a plane to a place you know nothing about trusting God will keep you safe.
On the plane we sat next to a n Irish man named Leo. Come to find out not only was he supposed to be on our original flight he was also supposed to be on our flight Monday! We became friends with him sharing about our trip and then stuck with him the day we were in Portugal. We later found out his seat on the plane was not the one by us but a row back but another standby passanger took his seat and he decided to give sitting with us a shot. I think it was a God thing that we met him. We plan on visiting him in Dublin.

We are now in Madrid and plan on moving on tomorrow maybe to Barcelona. But as we have found out now that is all up to God.

Keep the prayers coming!!
