IT'S OK TO BE NOT IN CONTROL
ALL I NEED IS TRUST
The announcement comes over the PA system to board the aircraft. I pick my bag with my boarding pass and head for the departure gate. Walking through the hall towards the plane, I know that eventually I won't be in control of my life anymore, but somebody else would. For the next 4o minutes in the air, I have two choices.
1. Close my eyes, sleep and pray that I arrive safe at my destination, or
2. Take out my camera, put it on flight mode and take pictures/videos.
How we respond to situations in life depends on our Trust Levels. If we trust God, ourselves and others, we can relax and enjoy our lives.
We may not be in control over many things and it's ok. Have trust. Relax and enjoy this moment, this season. There's beauty all around!

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
