Knowing that Jim's connection in NY could be a tight one, due to immigration issues with the children, I asked Jim to PLEASE borrow a cell phone and call me as soon as he was on the flight to Seattle (before take-off).
I have just spent 2 hours sitting by the phone ... but it didn't ring. The last hour was spent, also, tracking the flight on delta.com.
The flight was supposed to take-off at 5:20 (Seattle time).
... at 5:10 it was "boarding"
... at 5:20 it was "ready for take-off"
... at 5:30 it was "boarding" again
(I've got to wonder if it was waiting for the crazy guy with 3 kids running full speed through the airport.)
... at 5:50 it was "ready for take-off" again
... at 6:00 it was "in the air"
sooo ... this means that Jim and the kids are either on the flight, but couldn't phone me ... or they are stuck in an immigration room at the JFK airport in NY ...
We will now drive the 100+ miles to the airport, hoping and praying that they are on that flight .....
Welcome to Our Journey of Faith. My blog is a place where I share the joys and trials of living a faith-filled life as the mother of an extra large (12 children) homeschooling family, and my prayer is that it brings encouragement to others to live their lives as an adventure of faith, as well.

Lord God, it is our prayer that Jim and the children are on the flight to Seattle right now and that they are not hung up in immigration at JFK!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to an update!
It's 10:30pm... praying RIGHT NOW that Jim, Jacob, Rachel, and Sarah are landing and that you and the other kids are arriving at the airport. Praying for an amazing first meeting/ reunion, and a safe drive home. Praying for a GREAT night of sleep for everyone!!!
