The weather here is getting bad. Our wonderful 25 friends from UBC are stuck here. Their flight this morning was canceled. Jet Blue is supposed to fly 13 of them home tomorrow afternoon, 2 more tomorrow evening, and the remaining 10 on Monday! I feel so horrible for them. More nights on air mattresses after all the work they have done. Not to mention nothing to do here because the weather is getting worse and will keep us all here at Crossroads. They are all trying to have a positive attitude, but it is not easy. Please pray for their safe return asap.
My Mom and niece got stranded in Chicago this morning on their flight to Long Island from Birmingham, Alabama. Southwest Airlines finally agreed to pay their way back home to Alabama. They are in the air right now. My niece is already crying, and Madison will be crying when she comes home from school today to find her Nana and cousin not here.
OK, I have been on hold with Southwest Airlines while writing this blog, and they just agreed to fly them back here next Wednesday through Sunday! They are not obligated to do anything because it is an act of nature.....as the airline states. So, praise God from whom all blessings flow! My sweet niece breaks my heart to know she is so sad not to get here today, so I am so happy they will come next week. This is her spring break, so this was the only time my Mom could bring her.
Pray for all of this.......this is going to be a LONG weekend. God is good.
This is a journal of the happenings and events of our family, Sterling, Jenna, Madison, and Emma Edwards. We have recently moved from Houston, Texas to Farmindale, New York. We are starting a new church here on Long Island, seeking to tell and demonstrate the love of Christ to people that we meet. "He must become greater and greater and I must become less and less." John 3:30
