remember last week i blogged about booking plane tickets and how it had not been done yet? and the next day, being all responsible and communicative, we booked the flights?
today, magnificent and i learned that the airline company we booked the nonrefundable tickets with has gone into liquidation.
needless to say, paying another $4,000US for flights, just to vancouver, wasnt part of the budget.
we are a little bit stunned, but we are determined not to freak out. i want to handle this like the probable rent increase. beyond my control. all i can do is pray.
it is unlikely, so unlikely we will see our money again. but a big part of my life is about FAITH. so, i am choosing to believe it is all going to work out. i just may need to redefine what working out means.

I am reminded of when I was in a big city far from home and my car was broken into and my purse and everything else stolen. In that purse was a very important document that was irreplaceable. To say I felt hopeless would be an understatement.
Three days later, an envelope arrives in the mail – with no name or return address. All that was inside was the document I needed so desperately.
Never underestimate the power of FAITH.
Tess, that stinks! I go to a forum called slickdeals and this is a thread I read the other day. Maybe it will be helpful to you by giving you ideas not thought of or tried already.

Mom and I had a chat this morning and we think a bluebird of happiness will be landing in HK in the not too distant future.
Love to all…..Dad
How awful! Did you pay for your tickets with a credit card? If so, your credit card company may give you the money back. In the US I believe they are legally required to do so in this type of a situation. Good luck.

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear this! Not many families could take an unexpected blow like this to the budget. I dearly hope that the airline will come through for you with a refund, or that your credit card or trip insurance will cover most of it. What a big stress for you and Charles.
Hang in there!
Oh, no! You are the second family I have heard of having a similar story – the other family had their flights cancelled with no explaination.
Good luck, I am sure things will ‘come right’!
Oh that is just puke worthy! Sorry Tess, you are being very good and self controlled about the whole thing. I guess knowing He is sovereign always helps. Still stinks though, hope you get your money back!!!
Oh man. That HURTS!
