My First Plane Ride to Charlotte!

Ok, I have to share this with you! So, I rode on an airplane for the first time last week, right? Can you say nervous!  Before I was scheduled to leave, I was NOT ok with flying! LOL. Tell your neighbor, BUT GOD! 

Stay with me. So, a few days before I was to fly out, I checked my email as I usually do and I had received a video from Tyler Perry's mailing list that was titled "Fly Above Your Fear!" I knew immediately that was God working on my behalf. 

The timing of the video was just ON POINT! 

As I watched the video, Tyler explains how he was afraid to fly and how he knew his career would suffer if he didn't fly. I felt the same way! I knew that God had called me to minister through music all over the world but not wanting  to fly would hinder me from traveling certain distances.

After I watched the video, I had to give God praise and thank Him for sending that word of encouragement through Tyler Perry aka Madea! He also used praying people that are close to me to encourage me to take that first step and overcome my fear of flying. And I DID! 

I ended up riding on a total of 4 flights! Can you believe it? Before I boarded the first flight, I read a few scriptures from the Word of God. This one helped me a lot: 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind". 

On my last flight home, I got to meet a nice Christian young lady who sat with us and we talked about God most of the way. That was right up my ALLEY! The entire flying experience, I felt that God had placed people to comfort me and reassure me that He was protecting me. God always takes care of His own. I REALLY believe and KNOW this and you should too! 

I want you to know that I overcame one of the biggest fears that HAD me bound. YES I DID! I truly thank God for it and now I'm ready to fly ANYWHERE! LOL. If you have never flown before, I hope I have encouraged you like someone else encouraged me to fly above your fear! Trust God and know that He will take care of you. He said in Matthew 28:20 "...lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world". Face your fears my dear friends!

Many Blessings,
