I will tell you that I was extremely anxious about the trip. It was difficult leaving the kids and I was nervous about my flight schedule. The last time I flew was for our honeymoon over 10 years ago. I left RDU with no problems. I enjoyed the conversation with the gentleman that sat beside me. We talked about family, work, flying, adoption and the LORD! Because of our conversation, the anxiety that I was fighting subsided. God was so good and gracious to me.
That flight was held up on the runway for about 20 mins. By the time I arrived in Washington I had to RUN to my connecting flight, which was on the complete opposite end of the airport. I was the last person to board. We were warned by the pilot that the ride would be a little rough because of winds in Ohio and a snow storm in Denver, CO. We were also stuck on the runway for this flight for an additional 20 mins. because of clearance papers.
By the time we arrived in snowy CO, I had to RUN again to my connecting flight. Once again, I was the last person to board. We ended up on the runway for an hour. We had to wait for them to de-ice the airplanes. I called Melanie to let her know that I would be an hour late.
I know that God used all these situations to help me trust in Him. I prayed most of the day, read the Word, and reflected on His creation. I am thankful for all the delays, because I know He is sovereign and in total control. I'm sure there was a reason and I don't need to know why. I will praise Him regardless of my situations.

After all the flight changes, I arrived safely. I was literally in tears to see my sister inlaw Melanie, nephew Michael, and meet baby Jaxson!

Excited to spend the week with this sweet family.

One of your goals was to hit the gym for a workout. With all that running to make your connecting flights you can check that off your list. ;-) praying that you have a blessed time with your family!
That's funny Josh, I was thinking the same thing.
