Do not be hesitant to trust and involve God in the little things in your life. I am not, and here is why – follow this conversation as it unfolds.
This morning I received an email from my daughter regarding flight changes she wishes to make. Here is the history: last fall, winter and spring she lived in London, England, working and traveling. Upon her arrival back home for the summer, she promptly booked a new flight for London for the end of the summer, with a return date of April 2010. However, as the summer progressed, she decided to change her plans and now wants to return at Christmas and stay. She had booked her new flights through Expedia to travel on British Airways. Last week, she contacted Expedia to change the return flight only to be told that after she makes the first flight, then she must contact BA to make the changes. Now, in London, as this morning's email told me, BA says to contact Expedia. Not being able to get through on the phone numbers given, she emailed me asking if I could call for her. Here is our Skype conversation:
Me: I could phone them from here and say that you are having trouble getting through and ask if there is another way you can reach them.
Dau: Great! Thanks!
Me: I'm calling them now . . . [Dialing the 1-800 number]
Me: ok, the next customer care representative will be with me shortly!
Me: (music playing while I wait on the phone)
Dau: :)
Me: I’m talking to a rep
Dau: ok
Me: they say you need to call BA
Dau: I did - they can't change it. They don't have the "booking rules". BA told me to tell Expedia they have to change it.
Me: she's double-checking
Dau: ok
Me: ok - call BA in London: 0844 4930 787 and give your BA confirmation number; not the Expedia number
Dau: so Expedia can't change it?
Me: correct - just like you found out before you left - once you've traveled, only the airlines can make the change. If you get a rep who says no, ask to speak to their supervisor
Dau: ok, I’m calling them right now!
Me: I'll say a little prayer!!! [I bow my head and ask God to make this possible!]
Dau: talking to them . . . they still say they can't do it, but she's put me on hold
Me: Dear God, make it possible! . . . [waiting, almost holding my breath]
Dau: it’s working! . . . they have to send it to their fares dept to figure out the difference (what I have to pay) but a seat is held for me for the flight before Christmas!
Me: thank you God!
So, there you have it. A little example of trusting God in the little things in my life. He is waiting for our requests. Now, it is your turn – what little thing can God make possible for you?
