Detroit City

Well, after a smooth departure from Newark, we are stuck in Detroit. As we were getting closer to getting home, on the peanut they called a plane bound for Jackson-Evers, the captain came on the loudspeaker and delivered some bad news. Basically, the plane was broken and we weren't getting anywhere with a broken plane. Dagnabit.

So we were escorted off the plane, then transferred to a new gate that was at least a half a mile away, then delayed three times and finally told that our flight was cancelled because they couldn't find another crew member for our flight.

So. Long story short. We are spending the night in the Motor City. No fun. So far, Detroit hasn't impressed me enough to want to come back. Except for the cool tunnel that lights up in the middle of the airport (hopefully video coming soon).

We received hotel and food vouchers and were booked on a flight to leave tomorrow at 3:20 p.m. Praise the Lord! We have to change planes in Memphis and we won't get home until after 8 p.m.

We know that He works out all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. And we know that he's in control of it all and there was nothing that we could've done to change the situation. His ways are higher. Much higher. So we trust Him.

So pray that we get home safely and don't get delayed anymore. There were a couple of ladies on our flight today who have been stuck here for two days. I don't want to be one of those ladies tomorrow.

I really want my bed at home and I really don't want to spend my birthday in Detroit. Unless I get a private tour of Ford Field.
