Amazing Miracle & Answered Prayer!

-
You probably remember my plea for prayers regarding our flight situation to Oklahoma, and our hopes were that we would make the birth of our baby.  Due to required layovers, limited numbers of flights (with NO red-eyes), etc. it didn't look like that was going to be possible, short of a miracle.  Well guess what!  God answers prayer.  And he doesn't just provide the minimum, he goes all out, above and beyond!!

Philippians 4:19 - "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."

A few days ago, a friend of mine read my blog.  And along with praying about it, she contacted her brother, who is a good good friend of my hubby's & works for a large farming company in a very rural part of Eastern NC (Duplin County, or Kenansville, for those of you reading from around here!).  He is an accountant with the company, who have been very blessed financially (they have some part in the NC State University football stadium, for example... not sure what) and whose President is a Christian man.  This company just started a program called F.L.O.C.K.... Now, I wish I could remember what FLOCK stands for, but it basically is a program to use the funds God has blessed the company with to bless others, and show the love of Christ in doing so.

Well.  Long story short, we got a call from my friend's brother (the accountant, and J's friend) that the company wants to help us get to Oklahoma in time for the birth by allowing us to fly on their private jet from Kenansville to Oklahoma City!!  Yes.  You just read that right.  Private Jet.  For free.  Making the birth in time.  :)


We are beyond words.  Excited.  Thankful.  Shocked.  In awe of our crazy awesome God. 

So thank you for all your prayers.  I know that the prayers of all our blog-world friends and real-world friends reached His ears.  Thank you!!

    What an AWESOME God we serve...I've said over and over that He will do "exceedingly, abundantly more than you could ever imagine."

    I'm positive you weren't thinking jet!

    Praying for you.

14 Days in Italy - Part II

-
 So you’ve packed and prepared… here’s what to expect once in Italy. Just a few tips to make the most of your time in this magical place! Create a shared iPhone photo album between you & your travel mates  I can say that this was so great, my husband took some awesome photos that I appreciated having without saying, “Can you send that to me?” And vice versa. Also that way, only one of us had to have our phone out the whole time LOL. Speak to the staff. They’ll take care of you. Italians are (for the most part) affectionate, friendly people who like connection. We loved that, because post-pandemic it seems like everyone forgot how to be kind and communicate like humans. I made sure to smile, look them in the eye, and try to learn a few words in Italian to show some effort and not look like a clueless American. Specifically, if you get to know your hotel staff and treat them with kindness, they’ll watch out for you and take good care of you. We even got to know our main wait...

Italy in 14 days - Travel Tips

-
Want to see Italy but feel overwhelmed with how to make it all happen? Love a seamless yet “in the moment” type of trip? We’ve got you covered with all the lessons we learned along the way in our 14 day journey through Italy (some learned the hard way). This will be tips for the actual travel part, packing, & preparation. I’ll do another blog post on tips for when you’re actually there. Here we go! Book a travel agent. We used Pandy Hinson with TravelMation - her services are free for you, but are priceless. She’s been there/done that and can arrange pretty much every single detail. This saved so much time and headache.  Book business class. Especially if you’re going to fly a red-eye or basically anytime that could involve any amount of sleep. It’s cheaper than first class but pricier than economy. But the best parts - at least on our flights - were that you get TONS of leg room, ability to lay down, a real pillow & blanket, and amazing food/drinks. We flew Lufthansa into ...

Tips for the TransRockies Run - Logistics

-
A stage race is something that takes a lot of preparation - not just with physical training - but in planning ahead!!   During my long week there in the remote Colorado Rockies, I gave a LOT of thought as to what worked and what didn’t work for us, what items I could have left at home and what things I could not have lived without, items I wish I would have brought with us, and certain reservations/amenities worth the extra money. Here is a compilation of those thoughts for those of you considering TRR or for those of you who’ve already made the leap and are now scratching your heads at where to start… beware, it’s a long post!! But I looked for something like this before we left and found nothing. Reservations / Amenities Hotel/cabin reservations before the race - you will need to book early, like as soon as you register, if you want something good and in downtown Buena Vista. We stayed at a gorgeous cabin about 6 miles out of town - this doesn’t sound like far away, ...
