It's in His hands...

"Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!" -Proverbs 30:4

As we've been preparing for this trip, one thing that's been mentioned a couple times is the need to be flexible. Today we're really putting that into practice.

You may have heard about tropical storm Emily, which has been in the Caribbean just the last couple days. Tropical storms and hurricanes aren't really an issue where we'll be in Haiti because it's surrounded by mountains; it would just mean a lot of rain. However, to get there we need to fly a small cargo plane from Florida to Cap Haitien, Haiti. And right now, the storm is on the exact course we need to take, probably hitting Haiti tomorrow and the Bahamas (where we stop to refuel mid-flight) on Friday. So right now Missionary Flights thinks the earliest they'll be able to fly to Haiti is Saturday morning. If the storm does break up sooner, they could fly us in on Friday. So while we're not counting on that, we're praying really hard!

In the meantime, we're currently staying at the New Tribes Mission headquarters in Sanford, FL, enjoying their pool and working on plans for ministry options in Florida until we can get to Haiti.

We would greatly appreciate your prayers:
1) that the storm would break up, disperse, or change direction, so that we can fly in on Friday if at all possible,
2) for wisdom in making the most of this time we have in Florida,
3) for wisdom about how to make the most of our shortened time in Haiti, and
4) for continued good attitudes and openness to whatever God has for us on this trip. We are truly in His hands, and it's a good place to be.

Thank you for your prayers!
