My God is so Big.....

O.K. I said that I was not going to blog until we reached Australia, but this is to big to keep to myself. When we got on the plane in St. Louis, I sat next to this lady. It was one of those situations where you are not sure if you want to get involved in a conversation with a total stranger that you will never see again or just sit and enjoy being quiet and contemplative. After about 20 minutes, I decided to talk (o.k. so maybe I just couldn't stand to be quiet any longer when there was a human sitting next to me :-) It came out early in our conversation that we were headed to Australia. Soon the lady's conversation was broken and I had trouble understanding her. It was not long before her tears started to flow. Between the tears, I was able to make out that before she sat down, she was thinking that it sure would be great to have a person sit next to her that would be an australian contact for her son who was going to be an exchange student there. After thinking that, she thought "how stupid of me to wish something that has 0% chance of happening". ( You have to remember that we are on Southwest airlines going to San Diego. This was not an international flight). But little did she know that with God all things are possible. I also found out that her husband of 26 years died a premature death last year and was very anxious about her son going so far away. I doubt that our paths will ever cross again...with her or her son, but God is so amazing in how he works. ...My God is so Big, so strong and so Mighty, there is nothing my God cannot do.
