6 days to go

Yes it is 6 days until I fly out to Bethel.   Yes I have a flight... but it has not been an easy few days. 

I finally heard from the Airline that my ticket had been reinstated and as a nice gesture they had bumped me to economy plus which meant I had a nice window seat with more leg room.  Nice.  But when I checked my e ticket there was still no flight and the travel agent's page still said I had no flight.  Aggrrh.  My darling husband rang them while I was teaching in school and they said they have it all sorted now.  I went online to check and whilst it looks sorted I now no longer have the upgrade.  Ho Hum.  At least I should be on the flight. 

I had to choose from the remaining seats in economy and all that was left were middle row seats at the very back of the areoplane.  Funny how I spent ages choosing my seat the 1st time round and now I have the very seat I tried to avoid (middle of the very back row).  I actually don't care anymore.  In fact I am not even that nervous about flying: I just want to get there and am grateful to have any seat. 

My fear though is that when I get to the airport, there will be another issue with my ticket.  My eticket now has a list of at least 20 flights because they have changed my literary so many times.  I am am just going to go to Heathrow with faith that I will get on the flight.

But.... the good news is I have discovered another Bethel student Anna is also going to be on my 2 flights.  How cool is that.  At least I will not be on my own in the airport and making connections.

By the way, today is the day where I start to wear all my manky clothes...  so I can get through the washing to pack my nicer ones.  So if you see me and I look like I have not made an effort: you'll know why!

Great talk by Kim Walker-Smith

Whilst listening to worship music on YouTube I came across this talk by Kim Walker-Smith.  It is great and sums up how I feel about true worship.  It is all about an encounter with God and a connection with Him.  She talks about how we need to spend time with God to keep the connection, and fight to keep the connection.  As she says if we all came to Church on a Sunday morning, already connected and ready to bring God some glory, what would worship look like then?

It is about 50 mins long but well worth the time spent listening to it. :)
