Let me just say....that I am SO BLESSED! My God takes care of me and provides for me in every situation. Philippians 4:19 says, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Read it and believe it! This is my father-in-law's favorite verse. It is ever so true.
I am currently in Michigan visiting family and my travel to get here was, to say the least, a bit stressful. It started off great. I was dropped off at Jacksonville Airport and had a nice experience with my first flight into Detroit. Then the MESS began. As I hurried to get to my connection, on and off the tram, over two Concourses, I was dying to go the bathroom and pretty starving. It was after 9:00 pm. The connection was said to board at 8:55pm for a 9:30pm departure...so I was HIGH TAILING IT!! I found the gate and rested for a second. I saw that I had a few minutes, so I went to the restroom. I got back to the gate and the time of departure changed to 9:48. Ok, I thought, no biggie. Only a little bit behind. I texted my mom and niece who were headed to Flint to pick me up. The rest is a pretty LONG story....the 18 minute flight from Detroit to Flint, turned out to be 4 hours of waiting and unknowing. My mom and niece had to come to Detroit and get me, Delta cancelled the flight due to mechanical problems. So....here is where I give the credit to God. I was praying, my family was praying, that all would be ok. I sat on the plane, on the runway, for over 2 hours before they decided to cancel it. What would have happened if we would have taken off? God was providing for me, protecting me. I also had a pretty positive outlook compared to many other enraged passengers. I was very happy that I was not travelling with my 2 small children and that in many ways...this could have been worse. Always remember....in our own little messes...we are so blessed! God is Good ALL THE TIME!!
BLESSINGS!
