Wow, what an adventurous Friday I had!!!! I’ve learned, from two dear sister-friends of mine, that sometimes when things go wrong and mess up your plans, if you call them adventures, it makes dealing a little easier! Only I didn’t realize that until Saturday morning! Friday I left to go out of town for the weekend. After rushing to the airport, I receive an alert that my flight was delayed 2 1/2 hours. Well the rush was not needed. I parked my car at the usual off airport parking service. The driver dropped me off on the opposite side of the airport, and told me I could just walk there, it wouldn’t take long. That definitely upset me. I thought it was your job to take me to the correct place, sir. However, I decided not to argue with him, and just got off the shuttle. Somewhere between getting off the shuttle and walking into the airport to my checkpoint, I lost my license. I am laughing as I type this!!!!!!
Anyway, I turn around to retrace my steps, and try to find my license. At this point I am very upset, but I thank God my flight is delayed. I could not find my license, and even went to lost and found…..no success. An airport security guard told me he saw a lady that picked up something that looked like a license. All I can say is I hope she sends it to me. Now this has never happened to me, so I start to panic because I don’t know if I will be able to get through the checkpoint without my license. I asked a TSA member, and was told to try using another photo ID. Luckily I had my work ID and my birth certificate. I get to the checkpoint, and they let me through, with just a little more verification from me. I had to show something with my name and address on it. I keep mail in my purse!!!
So I make it pass the checkpoint, and get to my gate. My flight is now delayed 3 hours. This particular airline was not my usual airline. It was my first time flying with them. The tickets were cheaper. Well you get what you pay for. After trying to search for answers, with no success, after 4 hours, I go to my trusty,usual airline. They had seats left on the next flight, so I bought a ticket, and called the other airline to request a refund. I got my refund, BUT the new flight was now delayed also!!!!!!! Hilarious, but I wasn’t laughing. It was only a 45 min delay, but after waiting for hours, I was very irritated. I started to cry, because I wasn’t sure if this was the enemy messing with me or God testing me. I prayed hard, very hard. I finally reached my destination almost 6 hours later. My sister-friend said I should tell this story in my blog, so here it is.
This adventure caused me to pray a lot. It showed me how I lack trust in God. It also showed me how I need to change my perspective, and spend more time in the word. I also got this blog entry out of it! Don’t worry, I repented for my lack of trust! We all have those days were things just go wrong, completely wrong, but we need to change how see things, and how we react/respond. We can always stand to deepen our relationship with Christ. That way when things go wrong, you know exactly what is happening and how to move forward. I have an older entry on perspective, you should check it out. Well that’s all for now! I hope you enjoyed my adventure! Take care, and remember God Loves YOU so much!
