Yesterday was travel day for Zale and I as we began our adventure to Maui.  We had a short layover in Dallas and were able to get an early lunch with one of Zale’s (and I consider him mine too) best friends. I had been worried that we’d be so close to him, but not have time to see him. Our layover was only about an hour and a half and I knew we’d have to go back through security before we could get to the gate and have always been a bit paranoid when flying that I’ll miss a flight. Of course I shouldn’t have been worried at all, God was well in control of the situation.

God had our whole day planned out for us and everything went so smoothly. Our friend was able to pick us up on the curb, and hop over to a restaurant right beside the airport, we had a wonderful half hour or so to catch up and reconnect. We could easily spend hours with our friend but were blessed with what God provided! We were back through security and at the gate with plenty of time to spare before they started boarding us.

In that very short amount of time before we boarded God showed up again, not once, but twice. I got on the plane feeling almost giddy over the obivious hand God has over us yesterday. While we were waiting to board I saw two young military personal waiting to board our plane. I was honored to be able to tell them how much we appreciated their service to our country. They tried to shake it off as if it were no big deal and that it was just a job, but I know that’s not the case and was able to tell them so! I don’t know anything about where they were going or what their jobs are in the military, but I pray God will keep them safe and return them home to their families!

The next cool thing that happened was we were able to meet another attorney that’s a part of this conference that Zale met on Facebook. And it turns out they were sitting right behind us on the plane. Zale had been hoping to get a chance to chance to meet him before the conference started, and God showed up and took care of that too! I was able to meet his wife and felt completely comfortable with both of them. That’s actually not an easy thing for me, so I felt very blessed to at least have two familiar faces to look for while we’re here and maybe even a new friend to spend some time with while our husbands are in class.

Another blessing as part of our travel day happened in the shuttle from the airport to the hotel. It was quite a long ride and we got to meet a really sweet (lady) attorney from Florida. To be honest I was a bit concerned about fitting in here and not embarassing Zale. I feel a bit out of my element being surrounded by all these highly educated people throwing legal terms around that I can’t even pronouce, much less understand. But meeting this lady on the shuttle and sharing some stories and finding some common ground really helped put me at ease.

It was a wonderful day, and I am so blessed and grateful to be on this beautiful island this week! I pray you’ll find God showing up in your lives every day even more than what I felt Him in mine yesterday! Blessings!
