Grounded

We had a nice dry run this morning. Got to the airport, parked, made it through security having only my toothpaste confiscated, and had a cup of coffee. Then our flight was cancelled. Bummer. Bummer to Nth degree.

We are grounded until at least Wednesday. That's the soonest they have anything going into Reagan Natl. The other hitch is that now we need a new appointment with the doctor. It was so hard to get this first appointment scheduled. This trip has been really difficult to plan. Soooo.....we are up in the air now as to what the plan might look like. We must wait until tomorrow to reach the doctor's office and start over again. Here are some concerns....

• We can get an appointment rescheduled ASAP
• That we can get a flight out in order to make it to the new appointment
• That our faith and patience holds out. We are really frustrated and disappointed today.

My friend said it beautifully this morning. " [Faith] is not easy. Those who say that to be a believer is easy, know nothing." It's hard having faith today when we are so disappointed. How will this all work out? We just don't know. But, today we (again) choose to trust and have faith that God has it all worked out. Is it easy? Not so much. I find it easier today to be angry and sad. For moments I just wanted to give up. Nothing about this last year has been easy. This trip has been more than a possible solution to Marc's cancer. It has represented hope. Today it feels like it slipped between our fingers. Then I remember we have hope for tomorrow. We will get up and try again. Ever onward.

Thanks for praying. Thanks for walking with us. We'll let you all know what we work out when it happens.

With love and gratitude....
