Airport Thinking

The worst part about traveling is sitting in an airport for hoouuurrrsss just waiting. Right now I'm waiting, then I'll get on the plane and wait some more, THEN I'll land in Detroit and wait again...I think you get the picture. With all the waiting (especially alone) comes a lot of thinking. As I sit here staring out the window watching the planes take off I can't help but think about the future. Yes I keep thinking about the very near future, like if I'm going to have trouble getting my rental car, if my luggage will get lost, if I'll get lost driving to the hotel tonight, if Brett will forget to pick me up from the airport in Haiti (thanks Joyce), but I'm thinking about the distant future that may not be that distant after all. (Man these airport seats hurt my butt) sorry, I got sidetracked! Ok, back on topic...the future. Will I ever got back to school, will Matt ever go back to school, where will be live in 5 years, when will we start having kids, you know just those things everyone my age thinks about. Although, I am wondering about those things, it's those types of things I try to let play out on their own. Thinking about why I am sitting in this airport...alone makes me also think about the past and how it relates to the future. I am makin any since? So, I'm sitting in this airport because I'm heading to Haiti, in headed to Haiti because I have been called back since my last trip in January, I went in January because I got hired at a church who sends a team every year, I got hired there because I felt like I needed to get into youth ministry, I felt like I needed to go into youth ministry because I get to a Christian College, I went to a Christian college because I wanted to spend my life serving The Lord, I wanted to spend my life serving The Lord cause He is too good to not serve and I knew that because I was raised hearing that...okay I'll stop. It is so crazy how everything in life happens so something else will happen. Just how I got hired because The Lord needed me to go to Haiti. I met Matt because we were supposed to get married, and so on. Life is an awesome thing with so many awesome opportunities to so things for others. We live in such a selfish culture and I pray that generations to come can learn helping others is one of the best feelings in the world. 
Please remember that this life is too short to only live for you. Do something good for someone else today, and not because you have to! Have a great day!!
Until next time...love God.love people.love life
