Let me tell you a story about how I became a flight attendant. It all began with a suggestion. My sister-in-law, Becka was visiting Zac and I upstate New York and flew Delta. She met a really nice flight attendant who told her how much she loved her job and that Delta was currently hiring. Becka told me and I didn't think too much about it, but I was looking for a new job because mine was closing down in a month. The morning after she left I woke up and found the ad and applied. I got a video interview and then quickly was invited to Atlanta for a face to face interview at Delta's headquarters .
I'll never forget that dark, cold December morning I flew to Atlanta from Albany and underwent a five hour long interview process. I left that same day with a job offer. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to go through with it or not, but eventually Zac and I decided to move to Atlanta in February to be closer to mom battling breast cancer. I applied to so many other jobs in Atlanta, but couldn't land a single one so I decided to go head and try to become a flight attendant.
Zac and I moved into our apartment in March and a few days later I was writing in my journal about our experiences and a piece of paper fell out, it said three things:
* To move somewhere warm year round
* Have successful work/career year round
* Opportunities to travel to many different countries
I was in awe in that moment; God had granted this prayer that I wrote down the previous August. I vaguely remembered writing them down until that moment.
I began training mid March, which was a two month long, stressful and sleepless journey. I credit my position in life today fully to God. He brought me here and the more I fly the more I realize how well this job suits me. I recall many times in my life where I thought wouldn't it be nice to have a job where I could travel..I just didn't realize that the job would be traveling. Sometimes the biggest opportunities in life begin as a suggestion that gets you to realize you were made for something greater than what you've been doing. Realize subtle opportunities...they might change your whole life if you pursue a simple suggestion.
