and he's off!

This less than flattering photo was taken while we waited for breakfast at Cafe Patachou (swoon!) at the Indianapolis Airport this morning...but hopefully serves as a good reminder to pray for James as he heads home today. James got off without a single glitch, which we do not take for granted!

In the days and weeks to come, please pray
*for kind and compassionate flight attendants. We understand the reason to be twitchy around Asians with a cough when you're traveling internationally...but there is no need to be rude. Unfortunately, that hasn't stopped some flight attendants from displaying a total lack of courtesy. (Yes, even when they knew he was a cancer patient! But let's not make my blood boil...)

*for James to continue to feel healthy and well. May he be strengthened to take full advantage of every opportunity that he has to meet with people, enjoy good food, fellowship with local believers, and relish time with family.

*that God's Spirit would work unhindered in the hearts and lives of those who know James, those James will be speaking with...I expect James to have the opportunity to speak personally to well over 200 people in the 3 weeks he's there. May God be glorified as James shares the story He has written!

Thanks, friends! I look forward to sharing updates as I get them, and I know you join with me in joyful expectation to hear about all that God does with James' time at home.

For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To God be glory forever! Amen.

~Romans 11:36
