Beads of sweat were on his forehead and his complexion was pale. Sitting across from my colleague, it was clear that he was not well. We were sitting in the Atlanta airport, just hours away from boarding our flight to Johannesburg and onto Malawi. As we wrestled through next steps, it was clear he could not make the trip and, despite those on the other end waiting to receive us, the best course of action was to postpone and reschedule. Luckily, Delta was gracious and was able to book us on flights back to our respective hometowns. After arriving home we found that he was, indeed, quite sick. Right decision made.
We talk a lot about Maximum Flexibility in the work we do with IAFR and try to approach every situation with that mindset. We also believe in an active God who directs and guides our steps. With that in mind, I am thinking there are other items that need to be focused on during this two week period I had set aside for the trip to Malawi. So today, I am looking over schedules and trying to discern what that might look like.
