I flew into Denver on a buddy pass (meaning standby) and was able to have great conversations with friends and family during the 4 hour drive to Grand Junction. The week was very good. Relaxing. Seeing my family was very fun, it was hard to be away from my husband but also provided much more time to sit and talk with my mom. (one of my favorite things)
I was planning all week to get a ride back to Denver on Saturday evening in order to spend the night with my friends Mike and Aimee. As Friday rolled around, there was a surprising change in plans: Michael and Casey were going to bring me to Denver but we would leave on Friday to spend the night in Breckenridge with really good friends. Very exciting to me.
Saturday afternoon, Michael and Casey drove the 2 hour drive from the mountains to Mike and Aimee's house and I was very anxious to arrive and see Aimee and the baby.
After spending 45 minutes talking to Mike (Aimee was taking a nap), I decided to call the airport to change the Sunday light from 1:30 to 3:00 in order to join M&A at church the following morning. The Frontier employee was very kind and helpful but eventually let me know that all of the flights on Sunday were booked and that it would be unlikely that I would be able to make any of them.
Scared for a moment, then I asked if there were any Saturday night flights. Fortunately, there was a flight in 2 hours and I made it there on time (thank you Mike). I got to see my Mike a day sooner and all was well.
On the drive home, I was thinking about what would've happened if the circumstances were just alittle different...
What if the original flight was already after church? Then I wouldn't need to call and confirm. What if I had decided to drive up on Sunday or I had made that phone call just 30 minutes later?I wouldn't have been able to be home in time for work on Monday and it would've been a miserable day at the airport.
Thank you Lord for guiding my steps and allowing me a safe flight back to Chicago.
