| All set for a quick trip... |
Last week, Kira
and I attended our church’s Synod Assembly in Mesa, Arizona. This gathering of churches meets once a year
to discuss different policies and activities.
Basically, it’s one big meeting…
However, it was an exciting meeting for me. Kira and I were both attending, and that
meant the baby had to join us. We had to
prepare him for his first plane ride, hotel room, and encounter with the bishop…
(Exciting stuff, right! J) Anyway, I typically
consider myself a light packer. (I can’t remember the last time I had to check
any baggage.) However, this trip was different.
We packed tons of diapers, bottles, burp rags, and a bunch of other random
stuff… We were anxiously preparing for
the worst!
However, when we
arrived at the airport, things went much smoother than expected. People guided us through the fastest lanes,
and they made security a breeze. I think
it may actually be faster to travel with a baby! We boarded the plane waiting for trouble, but
it never arrived. The whole trip went off
without a hitch. The baby did great, and
we had the chance to network with a lot of wonderful people from across the
synod.
This week we are
once again looking at the story of Elijah.
At times, Elijah waited for God to show up in major events or crucial
moments. However, we are reminded in his
story that God shows up in the small things.
I hope we can all take time to notice that God is here… in every moment
of life.
Blessings!
