I started pre-writing while awaiting my gate and flight. I was and did trust both the process and the safety of this cheapo flight, no free food either, and knew I was ok, got a snack bag from my daughter, awww… packed in brown bag just like my mom would for them for trips when they were little. Cute…

My kids are old enough to be fine at home and I am young enough to be “allowed” to go by my kids – so when I asked/informed for possibly traveling, my youngest said: “It’s your life.”….  OK! UP up and away!!!

Now, I’ve arrived, yes it is HOT here in Las Vegas, the “dry heat”… the A/C is too much like everywhere… they surely have to trust in A/C, was 101F when I landed 8pm.

TRUST…

I left home the book I am reading for a work bookclub, about TRUST, but the CONCEPT OF TRUST is contained in my mind and of course I had to take a photo of a billboard I saw while on the train about a business where “TRUST IS EARNED”. We need that…

I trust the railway, they trust us enough now to not come around (or don’t have staff) to check our tickets. I trusted the resolution to a crazy line getting off the 2 trains for the Airport entrance to the airframe, so many scanning phone tickets. The resolution was PATIENCE and TRUST and then a staff member invited paper ticket people to step aside and collected them and we walked through the bigger gate swiftly. I saw a gentleman help an elderly lady. Yes, I still trust in the goodness of people. 

I trust in my phone, but paper this day was better, paper ticket, paper boarding pass…

Flight was fine. Funny how my old kindle could log onto Netflix but not download anything on airport wifi nor my mobile hotspot. I rarely use it, but thought it would be good for killing time with a movie.  The paper crossword I hoped for was not available in random newspapers left around the terminal probably because practically no one reads newspapers and they clean up random things so fast… but I did get a free old one on parts at the nearby shop, where I also got protein in the form of an “adult lunchable’ because you know cheapo airlines don’t give out anything, except for purchase, so no one buys and the airline stewards have little to do during flights. I was in a middle seat, nice people, 3rd row immediately behind 1.5 wide seats, which could have been had for $100 more. Nah, I would survive… and then the steward offered an empty row to the lady to my right. Then offered the nice gentleman to my right to move back to sit with his wife, after the seatbelt sign allowed. The flight only 25%-30% full, yeah… I then sat myself in the windows and saw the sights of mountains and rivers and snow tops and then LIGHTS. 5 hours… I worked hard on that crossword. I appreciated the steward who asked the neighboring folks to not play their phones without earphones (wow I was surprised how annoyed I was at the random electronic garbage, glad they stopped). And I read my book and what did I find downloaded on my kindle from 2018? A book about time management, haha, I trust the Lord was laughing… TRUST…

I liked arriving and seeing the “Vegas Strip” by car, all skyscrapers now, I saw the Sphere, saw a billboard for Donny (i already trust that show is going to be fun). And I praise the Lord for safe travels and hope in hugging my friend, whom I had helped pack to get here, knowing the Lord helped her get to THIS season of life. And what blessings for these grandkids to have their grandma…

In life, surely we can TRUST the Lord. His trust He surely earned im miracles I’ve seen, and in blessings realized. Mostly I TRUST in HiS Love. Trust in His Plan. We know we can TRUST Him in death, so we need to TRUST Him in life… keep going… TRUST in His time management for living and life and especially vacation…

Amen… Today will be another day trusting in the Lord!

TRUST!

Proverbs 3:5-12 NKJV

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; So your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
