Success :)

Well today was an interesting day to say the least! I had a visa appointment and the French Embassy in Houston at 9:30 AM this morning. My Dad and I went down to Houston last night after he picked me up from the airport. So we leave my cousin's house in Houston in PLENTY of time to get to the embassy in time for my appointment. It gets to be about nine...and my Dad's phone rings and its our cousin Ken on the phone. My Dad jokingly says..."What'd we forget...?" and then...silence. I look at my Dad and he has a very worried look on his face. Turns out....I FORGOT MY PASSPORT. My first thought was are you kidding me??? What else could possibly go wrong?  So we had to turn around and go all the way back to Ken's house to get my passport. I'm not going to lie...my attitude at this point was not a good one! I was ready to say, forget it...I'm not going to France...I give up. But my Dad, being the rock he is, calmly turned the car around and assured me that everything was going to be okay. I immediately began praying. I prayed for a change in my own attitude, and prayed that by some miracle there would be a delay at the embassy and I would still be allowed to go to my appointment!! (they are very strict about being on time). So after all of that we got to the embassy at about 9:45, and they hadn't even called my name yet, Praise God!! So I waited there for about 10 minutes and my name was finally called. The process could not have been more simple. The lady behind the desk took my paper work, took my picture, and told me I would have my visa in a week! So I started the morning "doomed" and ended it better than I could have hoped! God is so faithful, and I worry way too much! Thank you again for all of your prayers, I love yall so much! My plan now is to leave on the 15th....I'll keep you posted!!
