Day 2: Dublin to Amsterdam to New York

And so … here we go. Our first two plane trips. Out of Dublin with a quick turnaround in Amsterdam, heading on to New York, arriving there this evening, DV.

Some may remember the famous “Travel Book” that I created for this trip to have at hand a full itinerary of visa permissions, flight tickets, lodging bookings, etc.?

Well, in the mix of being dropped off at Dublin airport yesterday, the book stayed on the bus! We lost the whole thing as the bus pulled out and headed to the city centre! It was a blow to the gut, but, we refused to be downcast and praised the LORD. It had cost me a full day’s work to put together, but we were not about to mope about it. We said to the LORD that we knew He had our back and would take care of this.

As we waited on the LORD, we sensed that we needed to see if we could get it reprinted in the hotel here in Dublin. I asked the receptionist last night about it, and he not only printed out 130 pages of the full book for me (from my digital file backup), but he did it completely free of charge! Wow! Wow, God! What favour and blessing!

We have not even left Ireland yet, and we have already had three signs of His blessing. The printing was the third. On the bus down to Dublin we had two other expressions of His care and provision in that two surprise and unexpected gifts were deposited in our bank account to cover trip and ministry expenses! Wow, God!
