On the Plane

June 8th--From the Airplane

Okay guys. So maybe I don't like flying. The change in air pressure with altitude and simply the fact that I am on a plane gives me a headache and an unstable stomach. This even persisted while sitting in the plane, unmoving, for two hours while they fixed it.

The whole thing though is really amazing even if I still don't like seeing the world tilt 45 degrees. Now as I write, the plane is starting to go really, really fast. I don't like it. Even if it is kinda cool.

But just like that, everything is small. Really, really small. It reminds me of how small I am in the universe. As we climb, I am beginning to see the cloud cover out the window, which is turning white with the fluff.

It's really freaky when the plane tilts, or rather turns, because when you think about it, planes are simply long cylinders of people. And luggage. But that's what they are. 

The diversity of the people around me is my favorite part though. There are people of different states, races, places and languages. When the flight attendants announce something, they do it in Spanish and English.

We do sometimes forget that we are not the only ones out there. God created the nations. Although a slight headache may persist for the net three hours (we are still climbing, not even at cruising altitude yet) this is only a slight price to pay for being obedient to God's calling on my life. I wonder what He's up to. I guess I'm going to find out this week!

This Month of June

The month of June has been really rough. So rough in fact, that it's kinda changed my life and my perspective on it.

First of all, I'm outta school. That is a huge change in and of itself. I'm away from literally living in the Biblical community on campus within a campus ministry. I miss it, honestly.
Then I'm back home and have an actual job working as an Intern at my church. All of this crazy adjustment, being on my own while living with my family....
Then I went to Honduras for a week, just to add more craziness to the mix. THAT was something. Something I realized that God has used and is using to change and shape my heart.
Now I'm back. Next week will be crazy because of my schedule, but I'm excited for the month of July because I go into it with a new outlook on life.


All of this adjustment that I've been through this past year has really worn me out. However, I would never trade a second of it for ANYTHING in the world because Jesus has sustained me through it all and given me a change in my faith so that I now regard everything as a loss compared to the surpassing value of knowing Him.


God's calling on my life is my next BIG thing, and He's my BIG right NOW!
