I was travelling back home to the beautiful Toronto after being gone for 7 months. Loads of emotions going through me, but mainly just fatigue. Two flights (8 hours of travelling) and I'd be home.
My first flight was smooth. I could not believe how fast it went. I met an awesome friend. Her name is Elsa. Yes, like the Disney Princess. Turns out she was journey to Toronto as well! Tender mercy to have met her because I genuinely hate flying alone.
Anyway, there was some built up traffic that made my plane deboard rather slowly. We had ten minutes to board our next flight. Not really an issue, unless you happen to be in the LAX airport where you have to shuttle from terminal to terminal. I said a quick prayer because I was panicked I would not get home tonight. Immediately, I was assured that I would make it.
Heavy breathing and burning lungs, we made it! Satisfied, I sat back in my seat and said a little prayer to express gratitude. We were suppose to take flight at 9:30. I checked the time, it was 9:45. I felt unusually calm, especially with five crying babies. I whispered another quick prayer regarding those parents who were frantically trying to calm their little beans. Within ten minutes, all the babies were either sleeping or happy. Another prayer of gratitude.
Two hours later, we were still stationed at the airport. Turns out the engine caught fire and they needed a new part in order to proceed with the trip. Although many are upset and tired, I feel gratitude. Immense gratitude for the simple answered prayers I have received in just a short few hours.
I am still not home, but I have met a friend, I am safe, and I have the Lord on my side.
Heavenly Father is totally there and He does answer our questions and request.
Looks like I will boarding again now!
See you soon, Toronto.
