God shows up again- Plane Tickets

God does it again in providing what we need. On Sunday we were trying to get plane tickets. We found tickets on Friday, and by Sunday morning those tickets were $200 more per ticket. Plus all we could find at that price was a flight that had two layovers. Heather was able to contact Condor (a German company that has just starting flying to the USA), and found a flight from Portland to Seattle to Frankfurt. But we were trying to do this as we were getting ready for church. We got out the door late. Then as Scott was taking Stanley to class, they had a collision (Stanley was going straight at full steam and Scott was trying to veer Stanley left). Stanley got a bloody nose, which took awhile to clean up, then he was having post tramautic issues from the bloody nose and couldn't calm down when we tried to drop him off. By the time all was said and done we were 30 minutes late, Stanley wasn't calming down, and Heather had not eaten breakfast. We decided to go home, give Stanley a break and a new non-bloody shirt, get Heather some food, and on Scott's mind was plane tickets. At home, we were able to get the first two done, but the third one wasn't happening. We tried to order the tickets, by using our credit card (we haven't used a card in over three years) and it would not go through. Bummer. Then we tried the debit card and that was rejected for some reason we couldn't read because the error note was in German. Finally we just had to leave to get back to church in time for second service. We did get there a couple minutes late, and during the worship we were both able to refocus and be reminded that Christ needs to remain on the throne of everything we do. After church Heather had lunch with Megan Schiffner (Knoll), and Scott had the kids at home. He was able to look at the information with a better perspective, and was able to learn what we needed. We were trying to buy tickets for Tuesday that were $300 more per ticket than the flight on Monday! Plus, through Condor the price for all four of us was less than one of us on United or Delta. The flight Monday is in the afternoon to Seattle, then we leave Seattle at the kids bedtime straight to Frankfurt. Plus, by flying with Condor, we were able to get a good deal on train tickets from Frankfurt to Weimar. God was able to make things not happen in the morning, but we were also able to make it to church (we definitely felt as if there was spiritual warfare trying to keep us from going). It's amazing to see how He orchestrates things together if we'd only stop to watch.
