Random Observations

while travelling are
generally
a funny thing for me.
Especially when I'm alone.
The first flight
I at least knew I had
people I knew
in the same plane.
On the other two,
that just wasn't the case.
So I thought.
A lot.
And I read my book.
A lot.
I also made some random observations.
Just about anything and everything.

This is my list:

9am.
1. I prefer travelling with other people. I had never really flown with people I knew before today, and it made everything better. So. I think I need to start travelling with others more often.
2. It's negative 77 degrees outside right now. Granted, I'm inside a pressurized plane cabin. But still. Negative 77. That's pretty crazy.
3. I love, love, love looking outside at the water below me. Praise God I got a window seat! He is so good!
4. I miss Brandon's smile. It always made my day a little better.
5. I miss Jenn and Sarah. Probably more than I should. But I miss them terribly.
6. But I'm so excited to see my family soon!

10am
7. I'm not 7000 miles away from home anymore! Holla!
8. I'm really in the mood for some coffee. Like, for reals.
9. I can listen to the same song over and over and over if I like it enough. I know, I'm weird.
10. I kinda can't wait to have a Dion's salad for dinner tonight.
11. I miss driving along the coast road. It was always beautiful seeing the ocean and the mountains meet. But I'll be seeing it in my dreams.
12. We're flying high enough in the sky that I can see that the sky is actually black...for real! When I look up, the sky is black! Way cool!

645pm.
13. I am satisified now that I have had my venti iced coffee from Starbucks.
14. I miss Samoa. Already. That place made an imprint on my heart.

8pm.
15. Air conditioning is actually really cold...haha. After a month of "a/c" being fans blowing hot air at me...this is really rather chilly.

855pm.
16. So. A few blogs ago when I said that I would never be a teacher...well, I was wrong. I've been reading a lot. And the Lord has really placed on my heart that I need to confess that I was being selfish. I was being insecure. My security is found in Him. So, if the Lord leads me down that path, then I will follow Him. Because in my own human strength, I could never be a teacher. But if He led in that direction, then as I pursue after Him, He would take over. In my weakness, He is strong. So the Lord could use my weak teaching abilities to shine His light so brightly in the dark world.

Just a few of my random thoughts.

Blessings.

[B-t-dubs,

I'm soaking in
every
single
second
of it.]
