And then there's those days that you find yourself a couple thousand miles from home, among people you don't know.
Every take off can be looked at as one of the happiest occasions or the saddest. You can look back at the ground you're leaving and think of what you may miss out on, all that's known and familiar. You may want to stay on the hill and not reach toward the mountain. Or you can look at take off with excitement, let it take your breath away, bring a smile to your face. Even though you don't know what's ahead, you look forward to a touch down on foreign ground. Sometimes it seems as if you're looking through the fog trying to see the mountains. As you make an approach and let your wheels down, everything that once was small can be made larger than life, made clear. You've trusted something outside yourself. You've soared. It's not always smooth. Sometimes on even the best flights the seat belt sign comes on. When it gets rough it could be easy to not trust the pilot. Looking out the window sometimes the world can seem much too big. Sometimes the roar of the engine can drown out and keep you from hearing important things. Sometimes insecurities can sneak up and get your mind off of what's important. Embrace the journey, the unplanned, His plan. Trust.
