I am safely in Hungary, slept through the night last night, woke up at 6am, made some coffee, read psalm 113, and am now still the only one awake in the house :)
traveling is an adventure...i used to think airports were too. now i think reality has struck and i realize that airports, while a great means to an end, these airports are not my friend.
i flew out of k-zoo, into the city that i love (chicago) and after being told to wait in a (wrong) line for an hour, and after traversing back and forth from terminal 1 to terminal 5, and then back to 1 and then back to 5...i most successfully
missed my flight to paris.
practically practicing trust.
however, thankful that it was chicago i would have to spend the night in (i was rebooked for the next day) i called my wonderful friends at MBI who picked me up, hugged me, bought me a toothbrush, tried to cheer me up by showing me amazing magic tricks (i know the quarter was never in your pocket, by the way), fed me, and it was somewhat refreshing.
i arrived a little extra early for my flight the next day (which was delayed almost an hour) made it on the plane... and there was much rejoicing.
the flight to paris was uneventful. watched a couple of movies. played a couple of games. was defeated several times in solitaire (not sure how that works because i was playing myself)
the airport in paris is crazy. lots of riding a bus around. riding a bus to terminal 2E from the plane. walking through random hallways. another bus to terminal 2B. (these buses give the same impression as watching the 40 year desert wanderings of the israelites)
then using my camera case as seating for an hour (don't worry, it's sturdy), finally at the right gate..
boarding the plane...
but first getting on another bus, driving to the airplane..
finally sitting.
finally sleeping on the flight
finally arriving in Budapest.
finally seeing people i know.
finally walking on non-airport owned earth.
finally unpacking.
catching up.
relaxing.
anticipating.
trusting Him who hold all things, knows the exact places and times of where we should be, and teaches us so many things if we would just see them.

I am SO happy you are there safely! Sorry it was a wierd conversation the day you left..I was a bit indisposed when you called and couldn't seem to find a place with any sort of quiet to listen well. I want to give your MBI friends a giant hug of thanks for cheering you up. :)
I love the image of the buses in Pais/wandering in the desert. Hilarious.
I did not find a job/ap't yet..but did start reading Crime & Punishment. I'll be checking here often, which you know me well enough to know. ;)
I love you!
