This morning I was woken up by a phone call from my friend Barb. She said, "There was a plane crash." In my still foggy mind, the first thing that went through my head was Joel, but then I quickly realized that he is not going home for awhile yet and that we were safe on that front. So I asked rather groggily "OK?? And..." She replied, "And our tickets to the Gambia were canceled." I just sat there and laughed. I didn't know what else to do. So my plans of going to the Gambia went out the door this morning and I just sat there and laughed to God saying "Ok, You were serious about that whole "don't plan for tomorrow thing, huh?" I'm not upset at all...and that's a new thing. Just shows what God will do in a person's heart.

As I found out later today, it wasn't a plane crash, just a broken plane. And we may have other plans figured out to get out of Dakar, but I'm not holding my breath on them working out either. :) God's in control. That's all that matters. He knows our threshholds and takes care of us when things don't work out as we plan...and even when they do work out that way.

Laughter truly is the best medicine. :)
