It's A Small World (and God's Providence)--Story #2

To follow through with my California post, I have a story in my on-going IASW series. As Willis flew from Reno to Oakland to Phoenix to Nashville, my flight plan was scheduled for Reno to Dallas to Nashville. Our planes were to arrive within 35 minutes of each other AND Ben’s plane from the DR was to arrive during that time too. Well, due to a medical emergency on our flight, we made a stop in Albuquerque. That put our arrival in Dallas past the time that I could catch the plane to Nashville. My friend Carolyn and I had talked about being disappointed to not get a face-to-face visit, but God scheduled one for us! She picked me up from the airport, I spent the night at the Kotyk’s, and I flew out early the next morning. (Thank you, Carolyn!)

As I was going through the screening process to board the plane the next morning, I met Jeremy. Turns out Jeremy is home visiting his family, but for the past year he has been living in Seoul, Korea teaching English! Since Ben was leaving in three days to spend a month in Seoul, Korea, he kindly wrote out for Ben the must-see sites of the city. As a bonus, Ben strolled up as we waited in the baggage claim so Ben was able to visit with Jeremy himself!

Very nice mom! Turns out I read your post one day before you posted this, so I didn't see it :)
