I’m sitting on the cold floor with my back to the glass and our giant plane being prepped feet away. From this point of view I can see her in all her beauty, power, and size. She’s a big bird with engines the size of Volkswagens hanging like grapes from her arms. The windows have a small glow that’s starting to peek through the dimming evening light.
We load in a few minutes.
I turn my thoughts to God and confess I stepping out in faith as I board the plane, into another world, and I think my life will never be the same.
God please let us experience what you want us to know. May we joyfully walk with you through this journey. May every time we feel uncomfortable and are tempted to complain or disconnect be a prompt to remember the gift you’ve given us in this journey. May we learn and not neglect. Thank you for this gift, this experience. Please use it to shape our hearts.
Thank you for the family and friends who have thrown their arms around us and extended their wallets as well. You have reminded us how much we are loved by others and by you and have reminded us how involved in our lives you really are.
