This Time Last Year!
It’s been exactly 1 year since my last day as a Speech Language Pathology Assistant. I had no clue what was next, but in my spirit I knew something else was coming. Something different. At this point I had not even gotten an offer to have an in-person interview with United. I had applied to so many different jobs that I thought would open different doors. But I had no clue becoming a flight attendant would actually happen. It was the biggest plot twist. I think if I had known exactly what this job looked like I never would have said yes. I never would have said yes to all the change that has taken place this past year. I would have been too scared. It’s been costly in ways I didn’t expect. It’s caused me to see the real world in ways I never have before. However, becoming a flight attendant has opened doors to meet people I never would have any other way. God has protected me and provided for me in ways I’ve never needed. It’s taught me to cling to the things I know to be true. The people who bring out the best in me and feel like home. It’s so interesting because 2 years ago someone spoke words over me that I thought I knew what they meant until I actually feel like they were meant for this season. This girl said: “I just see these huge doors opening to different places (like in the Cronicles of Narnia) and the Lord just wants to show you more of his character and his goodness. At the time I had just gotten to go to Paris with my sister and on a really unexpected trip to L.A. with my friends. I thought well this is awesome. This must have been what she was saying. But this season this one has blown me away because I never saw it coming. Even in the unknown and the hard moments I’m in awe of who God is and how he always shows up. How beautiful is it that we don’t have to know what’s ahead to know how beautifully God is going to weive it all together. We can sit in the feelings of it not being exactly like we wanted or planed, but we can stand firm knowing God will ultimately use it for our good. We can trust that God knows our true heart better than anyone else around and the things he plans for us are not by accident.
If there’s one thing this season is teaching me it’s that God is in the business of making all things new. So if you happen to find yourself in a season that is teaching you something at every twist and turn be reminded that you are not alone. May be carve out the time to see all the goodness in this season, and how it is pointing us back to the greatest good in our life: Jesus.
I love you and I’m cheering for you! :)
Love,
