The day has arrived! Despite a very early start (had to be at DFW by 6:30AM) and a panic attack on my part last night; we made it safe and sound. Yes, I confess; I got a little freaked out while packing. I allowed Satan to distract me with those dreaded "what ifs" and began to focus on circumstances, instead of God's promise that He goes before us and prepares the way. I know whatever happens, wherever we are; He is always with us!
"Jesus is going ahead of you...you will see him here." Mark 16:7 NLT
We have definitely felt God's smile on us all day! I'm amazed at how smoothly things went...the airport personnel were all phenomenal! Not only helpful, but, oh so kind and courteous as they went out of their way to meet our needs. We were whisked straight through security and at the gate, the ticket agent moved us to a bulkhead row with an empty seat between us for added comfort!
We met a precious young lady (L), who was just returning from a month long mission trip to Guatemala who felt God leading her to pray over Ron; believing God will bring about complete healing.
We arrived at the Santa Ana airport at 9AM where we were greeted with the same courtesy and helpfulness. When I went to pick up our rental, we were upgraded to a Jeep Grand Cherokee due to lack of vehicles in the class we requested when redeeming our miles; perfect for carting the wheelchair along with all our bags!
We drove around a little to get our bearings, stopped at the Vitamin Shoppe to pick up Ron's protein drinks and then decided at noon to stop at our hotel to see if there was a possibilty of an early check-in. Unfortunately, they did not have any rooms available with 2 doubles, but if we didn't mind a king..... I told them we had actually requested a king so she was happy to give us a room that was ready (4 hours early!!!) God is Good!!!
After a quick rest for Ron while I unpacked; we headed out to drive around and see the sights. We drove to both Newport Beach and Laguna Beach before heading back to the hotel for an early dinner. We are chilling in the room tonight, preparing for our first big day at Disneyland tomorrow!
Have a wonderful week! I will try (no promises!) to update sometime during the week!
Love, Christie
PS: Happy Father's Day to all you dad's!!!
