Hello, London! Good Morning, Lord!

An early “good morning” to our dear friends and family. Yesterday, at noon – Austin time, we flew to Dallas/Fort Worth for our flight across the ocean!

Since we’re six hours ahead of Austin’s time – we arrived at 8:30 a.m. in London's Heathrow Airport! What a dream come true for us!

Yes, this is a whole new experience for us! First stop after deboarding -- we picked up our luggage. Then it was "game-on". We decided to do what the locals do -- we took the Heathrow Express (train) to Paddington Station and then took a taxi to our Royal Horseguards Hotel.

Oh my goodness! We stepped into London – all new for us -- new streets, new sounds, a different rhythm of life. The gentle hum of the city, the roll of the Thames, the history written in stone.

It all feels so grand with so much grandeur! But what comforts us most? The same God who walks with us back home in Texas is already here.

“If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me…” (Psalm 139:9-10)

Even here. Even now. There’s something sacred about seeing the world and realizing -- God was here first. Before our plane touched down, before our feet hit the pavement, before we ever said, “We made it” -- He was already waiting.

And oh, what a gift to explore His creation.
We’ll walk where kings and commoners have walked. We’ll hear accents that make us smile and maybe pause to figure out what was just said.

We’ll sip tea, snap photos, and probably take a wrong turn or two (because let’s be honest… we will). But in every step, we want to remember this isn’t just a trip -- it’s a testimony.
A testimony that life still moves forward.
A testimony that joy still shows up.
A testimony that God’s goodness stretches far beyond our zip code.

So today, here we are in London!
Not just to see the sights -- but to see our Savior in every detail.
In the beauty.
In the moments.
In the quiet pauses between the busy.

And if we get a little lost along the way? That’s alright.
God was in London before we arrived -- and He’ll be in every step we take.

Stay tuned – we intend to take you along with us – from there to here!
Much love and blessings to all our family and friends!
