Home again – naturally

Hello everyone, I am sorry I have been home for over a week and I am just getting around to posting. I’ve been busy getting caught up and back on my normal schedule. The trip home was a miracle as far as I am concerned. In Delhi the airline tried to get me to stay over for a day. I had to be very firm about my flight confirmation. They said that they could get me to Frankfurt but not to Chicago and they would not pay for a hotel in Frankfurt. They encouraged me to stay in Delhi, but I would be stuck at the airport there anyway. Well after talking to 5 people (and a lot of prayer) I finally got on the flight to Frankfurt, I was so happy. Once I made it to Frankfurt I had to pick up my baggage since they did not have me booked on a connecting flight and go through customs. Go around to the part of the airport where I could check in (sounds easy and quick but it’s not). I got to the airline counter and after a short wait in line found out they had found me a flight with Lufthansa Airlines and it left in 2 hours. Then I had to rush and get bags checked call Appleton to let Howie and Myra know about the change in plans (1:30 AM for them, I felt bad). Go through security and customs again for exiting Germany and made it to the terminal with 5 minutes to spare before they started boarding… whew. I feel God was with me every step of the way, blessing and making the path level for me to return home. Tim picked me up in Chicago and the first exit I saw with a Culver’s’ sign I told him to pull over I NEED beef. It was one of the best cheddar burgers I’ve had in a long time, funny how it can be that way after only 18 days. I guess it’s all in my head, but it sure tasted great to my mouth. :-p

I am getting my pictures and some video together for a presentation for the church. And a longer one for friends and family, I hope to show them soon.

I am praying for direction and God’s will for the future, please keep me in your prayers so I stay in the center of His will.

Dan
