Now Playing: Como Yo by Juan Luis Guerra
A month ago, I booked a flight that was out of my comfort zone. This was my place of doubt, booking a trip for myself. It just felt like I was wasting money selfishly. Looking back, it was one of those whimsical moments that I am grateful for. The process after booking my flight went something like this:
- Worry
- Guilt
- Anxious
- Relief
- Present
- Thankful
- Grateful
God brought forth some miracles in that journey because I learned the hard way of the things I did not plan ahead and of the things I could not have even predicted. One of those being my passport conundrum. Learn from me and reapply for your passport at least 6 months before expiration!
All in all, it reminded me of a sister's quote from a talked I listened to:
"If God wants something to happen, He will make it happen and if God does not want it, than neither shall I!"
Sheepishly, my conviction was not fully present during trials, but it made sense later. God permitted me the ability to have a mom and daughter trip. I don't know the next time I'll have the opportunity to do this, but I am grateful it occurred. The depart hurt so much, because it brought forth the importance my mom's physical presence to me. Perhaps that is a lesson the pandemic brought me, and that is the reminder that I can't predict the future and to take shot on the right opportunities, the ones dearest to my heart. Not to take them for granted.
What about you? What are you capable of changing?
sincerely,
Ahhh-me
