Travel day October 1st
play by play
Squad mates and myself were flying out of Poland to Bucharest, walking down the ramp to board the plane I put my passport in my wallet then in my bag. As we were walking, I asked the Lord if He would place me by a stranger. I get to seat 4F, I see I'm sitting by a squad mate and also a stranger, I put one bag in the overhead then put my small bag/purse underneath the seat in front of me. I sat down and got so excited, but soon realized the man doesn't speak any English, and also just wants to sleep, so I decided to just talk with E.J.
Two hours went by so fast, E.J and I realize we should use the restroom before landing, so we both get up to go. I come back, the plane starts descending, 15 minutes later, I get my bags and start to walk off the plane down stairs to see a bus. Mary and I were the first people on the bus/shuttle to take us to the airport. Mary asked do you have your passport? I said why, yes, I always do. I went to pull out my passport and couldn't find it. Thinking it's in here somewhere, I just know it. While I'm searching in my two bags I realize the bus is filling up quickly.
Not panicking yet, I told Mary, just watch this as I run back to make sure I didn't leave it on the plane. I start searching the pockets in front of my seat, underneath my seat, the whole row was being searched as flight attendants were helping. I noticed the plane is practically empty by this point. We couldn't find it anywhere, I just knew it wasn't on the plane because I had it.Remember? I put it in my wallet in my purse.
I ran off the plane to catch the shuttle, only to look and see it's GONE! I see a couple people from the flight waiting for the next shuttle that is pulling up. I sat by Liz, she sees my face and now I am panicking. Freaking out, I hope that Mary takes my bags off the bus with her. We start praying asking the Lord to come into this chaotic situation.
Seconds later we pull up to the airport. Mary has one of my bags along with Micah. Most of the squad mates look at me with a big smile on their faces and ask, You got it? With a terrified face, I say, Nope!!! Robby (our squad leader), Mary, Micah and myself set my bags down one more time to go through them before going up the escalator to customs. While we are doing this, the rest of the squad keeps going through customs, so they can get their luggage on the other side.
Only thing I could think of was that I had a few paper copies of my passport. Couldn't that possibly get me through? We figured we could at least try and see what they would do. Robby and I walk up to the guard with a paper copy of my passport, as we get closer He is giving me this look of, you are crazy, I already know what you are going to try and do. I can't really speak by this time, because I'm in shock that this is happening to me, so Robby begins to ask the guard for me: Can she get into Romania with this? He says the words, No, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.
A guard walks up and asks (Robby, Mary, Micah, and of course I myself) to take a seat off to the side. When I heard the word "impossible" and saw the look on the guards face, I lost it completely, never feeling the way I felt in that moment ever before in my life. I felt like a piece of me was gone, what was I going to do?
Robby got up to talk to a guard around the corner, as he is doing that Mary, Micah, and I start praying. A minute later Robby comes around the corner and says, ok, looks like Kylee and I will take a flight back to Poland, if we can even get back into Poland. Robby said we could try and get a temporary emergency passport. As I hear this from him, more emotion started to flow. Thinking, is this it? Am I done? Beginning to question the race.. the devil was attacking me.
Still sitting down, we start praying again, Abba please work this out. I started saying, no, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH YOU! Nothing, meaning Daddy you can do all things, it is through Christ everything is possible! Through you! I believe you have a plan and purpose for this, you are good, Father! Guards are watching us pray… Someone prayed, Father, I know you have given the passport to an angel, it is being delivered. As that was spoken, a guard walked up saying, calm down, I have it right here, then he walked away.
WOW!!!!! I know I've never made a shocked face like that one; my mouth droppe and we all looked at each other. I just witnessed our Father do a crazy miracle in my life. Literally! I can't even begin to explain my feelings and emotion. I only hear Him saying, why do I have to confirm it? See, look Kylee, I have you here for a reason, don't question, my beloved daughter, just trust Me. I want you to see that of course I have you here for a reason, this was just giving you the confirmation you thought you needed.
The guard walked up to me, and gave me my passport. I honestly couldn't believe I was holding it. I turned around and saw the guard that told me it was impossible to get through with just my paper passport, thinking that I should go back to him. Mary and Micah get stamped and walk through. Now it's my turn, I look at him and wish I could have taken a picture of his face this time. If he didn't believe in our Father I'm sure He does now. His face was priceless, like did this just happen? All I could do was cry and smile at the same time, rejoicing that our God is so powerful and that He can do crazy miracles just like this one.
Just when you thought I was done telling the story…
Robby gets a stamp, as well. We walk down a hall way through a sliding door to go to baggage claim, as we are coming out I see the squad all together. They were praying for the whole situation and just as I walked out they said "amen." How cool is that?!?! They were even shocked to see me (of course in a good way). They asked, where was your passport? I said, I have no clue, I don't need to know, all I know is that our Daddy, our Father and Creator just did a miracle!
He showed me clearly that He has a plan and purpose for me here and I shouldn't question it. Also, that everything is possible through Christ. Meaning literally everything! With this I know He has me here and is going to provide for my every need whether that's prayer or financially.
