Welcome Aboard.


“….the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know how we ought to pray, the Spirit Himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express. And God, who sees into our hearts, knows what the thought of the Spirit is; because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf of his people AND in accordance with his will”. Romans 8:26-27

I was recently on the plane. I also started gluten-free diet a few months ago. For the first time in my life I had to order a special meal on the flight. I made an order while booking my ticket and never thought about it again. Yes, I was a little curious what kind of food I would get. The plane took off, the captain made his announcement and the flight attendants started to deliver food. I was sitting back and relaxing, headphones on, watching a movie without a single concern about what I would eat. A few minutes later a very nice flight attendant showed up with a big smile and asked, “have you ordered a special meal”. I told her had and she handed me my meal of sweet and sour chicken with rice. It made me feel very safe to know that the flight attendants knew exactly where I sit and what I needed. And then I realized that my Father knows EXACTLY where I am and what I need. The only difference is that I keep telling Him what I need and keep reminding Him where I am. It’s kind of ironic that I trust my airlines more than I trust my heavenly Father. I know I should sit back and enjoy life with Him and in His will. He knows me and knows my needs. He knows my wants and my desires. He will grant me the things that will benefit me the most, things that will make me grow and transform more and more into the image of His Son, Jesus. My only responsibility is to listen to Him, remain in Him and bear fruit according to His will.
