Airplane Moments

One year ago I left my computer on a plane and it had my updated version of God Appointments on it. When I realized what I had done my heart sank. I made call after call only to find out chances were slim that they would recover the computer. As God would have it, a young man felt led to track it down and that is just what he did. When I picked it up he was so busy I barely had a chance to thank him. Many times over the past year I had thoughts of thankfulness for his life. Yesterday as I was returning from the God Appointments CTN interview in Florida there he was at the check-in counter. I flagged him down and thanked him over and over. He remembered and said he knew he was called to find that computer. As I left the counter I thanked God for providing this opportunity to give thanks. When I started to board I heard my name over the loud speaker to report to the counter. There he was again. He handed me a business class ticket. And said thank you!! I was overwhelmed and I could not hold back the tears. I never ask for special seats because I want to sit by whoever God wants me to sit. On both flights God made me aware that this is exactly where He wanted me.

The first flight I sat next to a pilot. We were both quiet during the flight and as I shut my eyes to thank God, He put a thought in my mind that I needed to pray for the man sitting next to me. God even gave me the prayer. “Lord bless him coming and going. May his life shine to the people you place before him.” And that was it…so I thought. God said I should tell him. Yikes…here we go again. My next thought was…whew, maybe that was not from God because he was sleeping. Just then he woke up and then I knew. After I told him, he shared with me he was a Christian and his mother has done missions work for the last 10 years and he was thinking about joining her on a trip. He was very interested in God Appointments and said he would purchase a book to help the children. We both ran to catch our next flights. Well that was enough to confirm God’s love once again. But God gives more than enough.

I also had a business class ticket for the next flight. The young mother sitting next to me was also selected out of the blue (heaven) to sit next to me business class. Her helper and three year old sat behind us in regular class. As she sat down with her young baby in her arms I ask her to please let me move back so she could have her family with her. She said it may be better this way, but she would let me know. I won’t share all of the details but this young mother had lost her first child at 21 weeks several years ago and still could feel the pain as if it was yesterday. As she shared her heart with me I knew God Himself had placed her in my life. Many details I will treasure privately. As God spoke words through me into her life He also transformed my life. God leaves no one behind. Go well my friends and thank you for giving God’s breath away…Go GAB!

Always, Bobbie Suzette
