"Many are the plans of a man's heart, but it is the Lords purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21.
I am so glad that the Lord loves us enough to be involved in every detail of our life.
This past week it finally dawned on us that traveling with eleven children is not only a lot of work, it is expensive. And although the children are champion travelers, it looks as if our "large family traveling" days are going to be few and far between.
We had planned to turn around and head back down to the city on Tuesday morning {a 7+ hour drive}. Stay the night near the airport, whereby Zane and the children would travel back home on Thursday morning. Whew, quite exhausting considering we just made this same journey two days ago.
As of last night, the Lord came up with a better plan!
A short term mission team is flying into our local airstrip {1 hour away} tomorrow afternoon. The plane will be heading back to the city empty. So, why not book a flight with them?! And stay the night with good friends who live 5 minutes from the airport?!
Eryn, Ezekiel and I will be taking a small MAF {Mission Aviation Fellowship} airplane for an hour long flight to their airstrip outside the city {which is located just 30 minutes from our friend's house}. We get to enjoy Uganda from the sky {a beautiful sight}. And all at half the price of what it would have cost to drive and stay two nights in a guesthouse.
Trusting in the Lord's "purpose" in these change of plans!
