Hello and welcome to my new blog specifically designed for posting thoughts, pictures and stories from my time in India!

Lets start from the beginning...God truly getting our attention at the airport....

GCC sends many teams to India, we were definitely not the first nor the last, so when we went to the ticket counter to sign in we were surprised to hear that Orbitz had sent us paper tickets. We never use paper tickets at GCC and so, guess what, we had no paper tickets. Luckily enough we had gotten to the airport many hours early! We got our fearless leader Jack on the phone - who quickly located the tickets and hopped in the car with his wife to hopefully get us the tickets in enough time to make the plane.

This is Lanette and Julie patiently waiting to hear something from Jack...

Here we see Shelley on the phone with Jack, with the rest of us watching, waiting, hoping for some good news on his driving progress....

Yes that is Lindsey sitting amongst all our luggage (sadly, that was not all of it...what can I say, we had 7 women traveling together!)

Yes that is a plane you see!! Here is Lanette and Kim waiting for takeoff!!

A very happy Jennifer and Shelley!

We were blessed with an amazing woman who worked for American Airlines who tagged our luggage, ran our boarding passes and did everything she could without having our tickets in hand. It got to the point where she said "You have 5 minutes. If the person bringing you the tickets isnt here in the next 5 minutes you arent going to be able to make your flight. Maybe you should call him again." Right after she got the words out of her mouth we see Jack fly up, Julie run and grab the tickets and run back up to the lady. Talk about God! Then the amazing ticket lady put our luggage at the front of the X-ray line! We then got through security, ran to our gate, and barely made it in time to make our flight!

If anything, this experience at the Chicago airport proves to use exactly how involved God truly was with our trip. He reminded us right from the start that this trip was all about Him and that there was no way we would be able to do this without Him!
