Ready for Takeoff

I'm sitting in the Pittsburgh Airport, waiting for my flight to Chicago, and from then on to Detroit for short-term training at Send's U.S. headquarters in Farmington. God amazes me with his mercy and provision.
On Thursday, May 22 I found there had been a clerical error and I suddenly owed more than $700 in support -- much more than I could ever raise by myself in a week. I had a very bad attitude and threw a temper tantrum to God, asking why He was making it so difficult for me to go to Spain if He wanted me there in the first place. Dan advised me to pray, and we felt that I should call my Uncle David and ask for his advice, since he was a missionary for a long time in Taiwan. Uncle David told me to pray (much to my chagrin at the time) and to start calling people asking them to pray. By the end of the evening, people I hadn't contacted were calling me and asking if I still needed support. By Saturday my support was completely raised, and I even reconnected with family members I hadn't talked to in more than a decade. Praise the Lord for His kindness!
As I head to short-term training and eventually to language school in Spain, please pray for the individual members of the team. Pray that we would be a help and an encouragement to the permanent missionaries there, and that we would grow close as a group.
Please stow your belongings and put your trays in the upright and locked position. We're preparing for takeoff. :-)
