Isn't it so amazing how God gives us little blessings each day? Mine came in the form of a seat mate on my flight from Minneapolis to Denver VERY early this morning. I settled into my window seat & a middle-age couple filled the two seats next to me. I don't know about you, but I think that flights are awesome opportunities to share the gospel! So I was praying about talking to Lynn, the woman next to me when I noticed that she was reading something about C.S. Lewis. So I mentioned that I love C.S. Lewis & we started chatting about our trips & life in general. Turns out she was headed to Okinawa Japan with her husband to visit her daughter & her family. She asked me about college & I told her that I attend a Christian University called Northland. She got this surprised look on her face & then started laughing. Turns out her niece is in graduate studies at Northland, & I actually know her! Small world, huh? We both agreed that it was a blessing from God to have been seated next to each other & then we got to talking about how good our Heavenly Father is. We exchanged information & I promised to say hi to her niece for her. Anyways, I thought that was so cool & such a blessing! What a great way to start out a trip =) So now I'm drinking a peppermint mocha in the Denver airport, waiting to board my flight to Orange County California to spend 10 days with one of my best friends. I'll be sure to update when I can & share pictures. I hope that you all have a wonderful, relaxing weekend!
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.” ~Lamentations 3:22-24
