happy friends...

 

the flight of peace

I got to Lynchburg airport alright. It was kind of raining so I wasn't too worried about the flight to Charlotte than on to Kansas City. I had a 1/2 hour in Charlotte for my layover.

For those who have never been to the airport--the planes only go to Atlanta and Charlotte.

So back to the story. I got on the plane okay. I noticed it was one of those prop planes. I hate prop planes with a passion. Believe me, I like flying....but God created me to fly on the bigger jets...

Anyway--back to the story...

Because the stewardess was trying to balance out the plane, I was the only one in the two seats, which I was happy about...I love having room on the plane. Next thing I knew, the captain got the speaker, as we all noticed it was raining hard, that we were going to sit for 20 minutes on the runway because it was storming in Charlotte too. Finally, after twenty minutes, we flew off. The whole was shaky. Everywhere the captain flew, we hit turbulence. Next thing we knew, the captain said, oh by the way--we are going be rerouted so it will now be an hour and half till we land because of the storms coming in.

I got sick. I was panicking. Here we were at the Lord's mercy, on a turbo prop plane, feeling every bump. I asked for peace from God, I even started asking God if He was going to take me, please do it quick.

I remembered reading a story by Patsy Clairmont, when she was on a small airplane, that she asked for a sign for a peaceful flight. Next thing she knew, God gave her a rainbow as a promise just like God did for Noah.

So I started looking outside for my rainbow. All I saw were clouds. Sigh...I started panicking again. Praying real hard as we bumped a long.

I decided to stretch my neck. I turned around and there she was.

There was a girl who looked around my age, 29, was sitting peacefully. She kind of waved at me. I waved back. She was reading her Bible. Little does she know that she was my sign from God. That holding onto His Word, like she was doing, was my peace from God that things were going to be okay.

Well we hit more bumps and I sat and started thinking about Scripture...When I am afraid...I will trust in Thee...I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

In fact, we hit a bump that was so big the impact was so great that two woman's coffee and tomato juice hit the ceiling of the plane.

Praise God, we landed in Charlotte. Praise God we landed safely. I had a three minute connection from one end of Charlotte's airport to another and thank the Lord I made it on the 2nd plane but ended up flying out an hour late.My mom ended up picking me up 2 hours later. My bag came to the hotel in Kansas City at midnight.

But did it matter? No. God was in it...He did things His way again and had the great opportunity to show Himself strong again and gave me another opportunity to trust Him according to His Word.

i'm thinking...

I'm thinking, God wants me. He wants me and desires me to spend time with Him. Isn't that amazing? He loves me more then anything I could ever imagine. I need to reminded of that. I will admit. I, Micaela Evonne, at almost twenty-nine, needs all the reminder she can get.


Worthy is the Lamb, You are Lord God Almighty...

Praise God...

let every men be....

swift to hear...slow to speak...slow to wrath...

James 1:19-20 says: "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."

This verse, I believe, is the basis of any relationship. If we follow these three principles of being slow to wrath, slow to speak, and slow to hear, our relationships with friends will be successful.

I learned that this week. I learned to watch my tongue of the things I say...listen to what people say and really think about and not get angered if I get offended at something.

wow it's March 27th and the family

Time has flown...and I've forgotten to blog. So I'm sorry. One thing God has taught me is to let Him work things out. I've also learned that my friendships and my family is very important to me. I can't imagine what life would be like without Mom and Dad and Brendan. The relationships I have now should be valued and treasured. Last year, I almost lost my brother because of his sickness. One thing God taught me is that relationships are about sacrificing my time and efforts for someone I love because you never know what will happen. My brother is okay now and we still have rough spots in our relationship but I have to remind myself that God gave him to me for a purpose and He's the only brother I got.

ever have a dissapointing week?

Well this week was...I mean disappointing news, events, and other things happened that caused stress...but can I say God is good despite difficulty? It's hard too. I will admit that. I want to ask God why He gave me a bad week. But who said life was easy? Why is life hard? I have a theory...I think life is hard because it will give us a new appreciation for Heaven. Heaven....wow...that's a wonderful place...no more pain, disappointment...streets filled with gold...and the lion and lamb will sit together...wow...

A friend of mine pointed it out a bad week, why life is hard gives us a NEED for Him. A need to rely on Him. I think that is vital in life because we can not do this life on our own...
