Going Dutch

As I sat in the airport in Chicago watching all the different people I was reminded yet again how awesome God is. He has created so many different people who live miles apart, speak different languages and experience different cultures, yet he loves us all the same.

At 3:30 pm I boarded Dutch airlines KLM to begin an 8 hour flight to Amsterdam. When I got to my seat I was greated by the lady who was to be sitting next to me. She is originally from Amsterdam, but lives in the States now. She asked me where I was going and what I was doing there. After I replied I then asked her the same question. She is traveling back home to help take care of her sister who has stage 3 stomach cancer. After talking to her for a bit I was able to pray with her. Her spiritual beliefs are in white witchcraft, but she is open to a variety of different religious beliefs. I know that in the short flight she wasn’t going to change her view on things, but I believe it was a seed planting opportunity.
