Disappointment

I am supposed to be landing in Ohio right now...instead I am sitting here at home. You see, this weekend was my first leadership retreat for Compassion. I have taken on a new role with them and am now an Area Coordinator. This means I have a team of advocates under me whom I pray for, encourage, support, etc. I have been wanting to get more involved in Compassion and this new role was a natural step for me. I was so excited to go to this retreat, meet other advocates for Compassion and get some training.

But it snowed again.

I woke up at 4 am to make it to the airport for my 6 flight. By God's grace I got there safely - driving 35 minutes through a blizzard is NOT fun! They checked us in, got us through security and didn't say a peep until our flight was to take off. We were delayed. After an hour of being delayed they canceled the flight.

Because it's also spring break for the university, there are NO seats on ANY flights out of here until Tuesday. And so I got a refund and drove home.

Syd was sad I was home because she and daddy had planned a campout in the living room. Kay was thrilled and said "I love you mama. You are the best mama in the whole wide world".

Although I'm disappointed not to be at my retreat, it's good to be home.
