STATUS: About to board my last flight, Bogota to Monteria…
Psalm 5 says that God surrounds the righteous with His favor as a shield. I have been seeing that in action the past 24 hours.
There are MANY stories I could tell, but I just have time for the most recent.
I was sitting next to a couple (in an exit row again! PTL!) on my flight from Costa Rica to Bogota. About 45 minutes into the flight, I was reading my Bible. The man (who was sitting in the middle), said in Spanish, “In your hands you hold the best book in the world.” He proceeded to say in English, “We’re born-again believers.” Needless to say, it was a pretty fun connection.
He and his wife are both Colombian but have been living in Australia for 17 years! They’re back for a short visit this week. I chatted with them the rest of the flight. We went through customs together, we discovered together that our baggage was already checked through to our destination (PTL!), we took the shuttle bus to the other terminal, and they bought lunch for us.
And I thought the goodbyes were over! Their flight left a little earlier than mine (to a different destination). I’m just so amazed by such a wonderful connection. Thank you for praying.
