He cares about every detail!

So, we have friends that are adopting for the second time from our baby girls country.  They started out a little faster in the process this time than us because they have been here before.  They were matched a little over a month before us.  For awhile we've been talking about how crazy it would be if we ended up traveling together.
Now, let me just interject here a little...  This is a couple that we've known for YEARS!  Like, since high school.  We've been married about the same amount of time, we spent years at the same church; it's just a family we are extremely comfortable with.
Also, and I'm sure I've said this before, John HATES to fly!  When he just completely trusted God last year and went to a first meeting to go on a mission trip, without me, as the people were coming in behind him he noticed that his best friends, his sister-in-law, his best friend's dad, etc, were among the group preparing to go.  I kept telling him "God is giving you a gift!  He knows you are completely out of your comfort zone but you trusted Him anyway and now He's sending some of those closest to you as comfort!"  It was truly an answer to prayer.
So, when we started talking about how crazy it would be to travel with friends to bring home our girls it was but a dream.  I mean, there were SO many variables!  Like 6 months worth of variables that would all have to work out in perfect timing for us to all travel across an ocean to the perfect children God had prepared for us.
Well, as the last few weeks have progressed it was looking more and more like we WOULD be traveling together.
It started out that we would be going and coming home the same dates, then that we would be spending our tour day together, and then that not only will we be on the exact same flights to and from, but literally on 2 of the 4 we will be sitting behind each other!
I mean REALLY?!?!?!?!
All I can say is BUT GOD!

Dear Father God,
You are so good to us.  We fail you everyday, but in our failures You bring Your will to fruition and cover us with Your grace and mercy.  I am in awe of You and Your goodness.  I pray Lord God that in all I do Your name is lifted high and Glory and Honor are all Yours.
I am filled with thankfulness and humbleness in Your presence.  Thank You for all things!
Amen!
