I’ve been blogging about the UK terrorist plot on Reformed Chicks and I have to admit I’m really nervous about flying right now. I’m going to Phoenix and I’m not thrilled about flying. I haven’t flown since before 9/11, my husband has flown but I haven’t, not because I’ve been afraid but because I haven’t had the opportunity but now that I have the opportunity, I’m afraid to fly.
The last time I was scheduled to fly was to Seattle and I was really looking forward to it. I was going to stay at a great hotel and had plenty of time to go sight-seeing and I was going to get to go into Canada on a ship and have high tea at a well-known restaurant. My parents were going to take my kids for a week and I was looking forward to it for months and I planned every moment of the trip. I’ve been to Seattle before and I was really looking forward to going back again and there were tons of things I didn’t get to see when I was there and there were things I wanted to see again. My flight was scheduled for September 14, 2001. As you might have guessed I didn’t go.
BTW, I know that the Lord is in control of everything and that He has numbered my days, that I could be hit by a bus tomorrow, etc. I know all that, I’m still afraid and God knows why (I don’t want to leave my kids without a mom). But I do keep telling myself that He will never leave me or forsake me.
