No passports.  Our flights for 6:45 AM today were canceled yesterday and rescheduled for...  ??  Actually, this time we'll wait until we have the passports in hand before rescheduling again.  I love when stuff like this happens in life -- there's no better way to not only be reminded to stay in the moment but, uh, what else are you going to do?  Someone I know asked me yesterday, "So... you were supposed to be in Germany right now -- what do you think you would be doing if you were there?" 
I said, "But I'm not in Germany.  I'm here."
He didn't give up.  "Yes, but you're flight was supposed to leave last Thursday!  What would you be doing right now?"
I didn't give up either.  "In this moment, I'm here.  I have no idea what would've been.  I only know this moment." 
So that's where we're at.  The last 5 days have been some of the most incredible days ever!  We said some extremely important goodbyes that otherwise would have been missed.  In a way, I feel like God gifted us with "bonus days."  Yes, we can hardly wait to begin our new chapter in Germany.  But in the meantime, I am waiting EXPECTANTLY for all that God has for us moment by moment where we are right now.  I know He has much for us -- I want to embrace all of it.
Blessings on your day!
