The first leg of my journey from Columbus to Washington was awful. After the stress of repacking my luggage and spending an extra $800 on excess baggage. I was exhausted. God said to sow some baby items we received as donations into the life of a kind pregnant lady at the counter who mentioned she was having twins and was so patient as I repacked the items. Most items were Hope Tour things for the children and the team gear. But I was disappointed I had to spend that much because every dime must be used wisely for the children.
I handed her the formula feeder and breast milk storage pack. She happened to be from the last country on the Hope tour trail. Senegal.
I knew that was a divine assignment and a seed for what would occur next. After going through 2 TSAs and unloading 12 laptops at each of them, I almost missed my flight. I ran to the gate frantically as they were already calling my name.
When I got on the plane, the devil attacked my health. I couldn’t breathe; my RSV symptoms flared up so badly. I coughed for almost an hour non-stop. Nonetheless, I caught the attention of everyone on the flight.
I used the inhaler prescribed by my doctor the day prior, and no relief was in sight. I couldn’t breathe.
The mask wire punctured the side of my nose, causing bleeding in addition to the cough, running nose, shortness of breath, and nausea.
I asked the hostess for water, prayed, used the cough medicine, and started getting relief within a few minutes.
This crisis could have been worse. The devil wanted to send a message about the extraordinary work ahead, but God was in control. He holds everything in His hands, and nothing can stop His plan.
I just landed in Washington, almost like nothing happened. When God sends you on an assignment, the devil will try hard to stop and discourage you.
Maybe this Hope tour isn’t just about the children God sends me to. The sudden attack on my health tested my faith in God and how much I can hold on even when facing discouragement and uncertainties when sickness rids my body when I stare out in the distance in despair. Can I still trust God and put my Hope in Him?
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
James 1:3-4

Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.
James 1:2-4 MSG
