Airports are interesting places. You see all kinds of people. Some are crying because they have to say good-bye to a loved one, others are excited because someone they care about is finally back, there are families that aren't paying attention to their kids and then there are other families who have their kids on a leash to keep them close (hey whatever works, right?); oh and the best is when there is a big tour group, yea they are always interesting. But then there is another group and I like to call them the wanderers. They kinda just wander all over and don't settle into one area and don't generally have someone there to hang out with because they are going solo. I like to think that there are many different types of wanderers though.. because I am one of them ;)
Flying alone has become my life since I went to college. It's rare that I fly with someone else and last time that happened we only had one connection together (it was a teary goodbye, but it was my parents so that's definitely justified). I enjoy it to an extent because as much as I wonder about others I wonder if they think about where I am going or whether my end destination will be an exciting one or a sad one. So many people in so many walks of life airports are miraculous places and it's a gift that I get to be part of it and that makes me feel extra special. I honestly didn't think I would be flying today.. I have been waiting for my passport to get here and it came way earlier that what it should've.. like an hour before I had to leave to get to the airport! It was definitely a God-thing! :)
The thing about airports is that we are all here for the same reason, we are going somewhere. That is exciting, it means that something new is coming.. a new adventure! Oh adventures are always exciting no matter what they are because that means that God is working in your life and it's such a blessing to be used of God. We aren't worthy, oh my I am not worthy at all. We have our moments of selfishness and that is not right at all. God calls us to be selfless not selfish. Lately I have been very selfish and upset that things have not been going how I wanted but what I forgot that this life is not my own. Maybe getting hit in the head was a good thing, get knocked back into reality.
I hope that wherever you are and even if it isn't an airport that your journey is not only exciting but it is what God wants for you and not your own selfish plans. Think about it, if we put everyone else first and they did the same our world would change dramatically! I know that seems like it's a bit far fetched and impossible but hey a girl can dream right? Lol and this girl dreams A LOT! ;)
Have a great day! I am going to finish enjoying my venti soy caramel macchiato and then go take a trip through the clouds. :)
Always choose joy!! -EmilyAnn
