What keeps the plane in the air??

We had a coaches Reading Conference in Houston this past weekend, and I started thinking about the one thing that you're not supposed to when flying...the mechanics of the plane and the main question...what makes this plane stay in the air??! So then I started thinking about life and the things we deal with and I came to the conclusion that we put the same faith and trust into life as we do when flying a plane.

We don't know how it all works, but we know that the end result will be that we make it to our destination. We have turbulence along the way, and through it all, God provides people who support and sustain us. Our flights may be delayed or diverted to another course, but we reach the place where we are meant to be. We are led on this path and we think we know where we're going, but God is the One who has the Master plan, and it's not always the plan WE think it should be. The thing I have learned through it all, is that we are to accept the things that come into our paths, and then lay it on the table for God to take, we don't try to take it on ourselves, but to hand it over (as a wise woman told me today). We cannot put a limit in the things that God can do!!

I challenge you (and me!) to lay our worries down at Jesus' feet and allow him to show us what He is capable of and how His perfect love leads us to the places we need to be!

i know what keeps a plane in the air.....the wing is shaped where it takes longer for the air to go over the wing and less for the air to go under. this gives the plane lift....

HEY! You should write more often! Great thoughts! Nathan did a study yesterday and he talked about how when we worry and try and take things on ourselves that we are arrogant and actually saying that God is not big enough to handle the things that come our way. We take His power from Him when we worry...ouch! That stepped all over my toes!
Love you! Great post! Keep it up! :)
