Okay, so I get to admit that I cheated and had a small piece of sausage today. Now all my brain is thinking about is salty, fatty stuff. No! Stop the madness!!!Doing well with T-Tapping and have recently joined the Y. I have an evaluation type appointment at the Y tomorrow morning. Gee, I hope I pass! Hahaha!
Praying for the Lord to keep me centered and focused. Prayed up on this particular scripture today:
"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
I was feeling a little anxious again about our financial situation last night and this morning originally, but praying over this scripture really helped me a lot. I'm thankful to know that the Lord has me in the palm of His hand! I'm also thankful that He has provided me with my flight attendant job. So glad I didn't quit when I was thinking about it previously! As much as I miss my family when I'm working, I feel like I'm totally in God's will doing this right now. I see Him using me too.
I do my best to bring God's joy and love to those around me wherever I am. I just have to focus up and out away from my needs and personal comforts. I find it a real blessing as I greet the passengers or serve them on the plane. I try to remember to pray for them as they board and throughout the flight. Perhaps the Lord will use me in some little way to encourage their faith in Him. I don't necessarily preach, but I'm always available if anyone has any spiritual questions, etc. Last trip we had a flight attendant who was searching for God and very hungry for the Truth. He approached us for Biblical understanding. Last month during a flight to Spain, I got to share my scarf with an orthodox Jewish woman who couldn't find hers in her suitcase. She wanted to be able to take her wig off for a while, but is not allowed to show her hair to anyone, but her husband. On another trip we had a very outgoing orthodox Jewish young man who wanted to discuss faith with myself and a couple other Christian flight attendants. Another orthodox Jewish man shared in some food with me. On a flight to work I sat next to a young Sikh woman who spoke about faith and religion with me. I never know how the Lord may use me each trip. It can be rather exciting.
I see so much disdain, apathy and complacency at work amongst many crew members who probably should have quit long ago. I pray that in some way I can be used to make a difference for them. Unfortunately I've encountered some who are just completely covered in darkness flinching at any hint of light. I keep praying and and looking upward and onward! Use me Lord! Be blessed and be a blessing.
