3 Prayers

                To say I'm blessed is an understatement.  I'm living my very own dream adventure.  Yesterday I was commuting home via plane from NYC to ATL which has become the norm for me, and I looked around and realized I fly to work, and I fly for work.  I remembered that my childhood go to birthday-cake-candle wish was that I could fly.  As silly as it sounds, every year on my birthday, my wish would be the same.  "I wish...except I would insert I pray that I could fly."  Yesterday it dawned on me, here I am flying every week, sometimes everyday.
           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.
