If you\u2019ve ever crossed time zones, you know how quickly life can feel off — way off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We left Austin at 12:43 p.m., hopped to Dallas, then flew nine hours to London — arriving at 8:30 a.m. their time — but 2:30 a.m. in our Texas bodies. Oh, we were determined to push through. And we did — sort of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a full day, we headed to our hotel. I worked on my next blog while Carl took a \u201cshort nap.\u201d
An hour later, he sat up, fully dressed, flung open the curtains and announced, \u201cTime to start the day!\u201d
I said, \u201cCarl — it\u2019s still night. You only took a little nap!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About that time, I stepped into the shower — only to be greeted by ice-cold water and a knob that refused to cooperate. I jumped out faster than I went in — nearly slipping my way to glory. Lord, have mercy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We laughed until we cried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day later, we headed out to see the play, “The Play That Goes Wrong” at the Duchess Theatre — a stage full of falling floors, doors that fell off their hinges, missed lines, and total chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And somehow — it worked. And, isn\u2019t that just like us?<\/p>\n\n\n

We miss cues. We slip. We say the wrong thing. But God —
\u201cIn their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.\u201d (Proverbs 16:9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now aboard the MS Nieuw Statendam, we\u2019ve seen places like Rotterdam — once devastated by war, now rebuilt with strength and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not the same — but stronger.
Maybe that\u2019s the message: Life may go wrong — but we don\u2019t stay there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We press on. We rise up. We trust the One who is perfect –even when we are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because with God, nothing is wasted.
Not a misstep. Not a mistake. Not even a slippery shower moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So thankful our faithful God always gets it right. And we keep pressing on and keeping going!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
