In the plane from Ohio to L.A. (connecting flight), sitting at the window I’m able to marvel at the amazing scenery!!! And I sit totally in awe of God. One moment the sun is rising in the horizon, and the ground is lit up with blues, and gray hues with a few light white clouds. In the horizon you can see a collection of purples, pinks, oranges, yellows, and reds. It almost looks like the ocean – but since I know we’re not going over any – I sit in wonder at the canvas I’m able to witness before me.

As the plane flies over Kansas, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona you can see how the earth is shaped; some spots are flat with looks like an inverted crayon, or like the only table without chairs in the room of sand. Next I can see the “make-up” of the Grand Canyon!! I see many valleys with meandering roads in the deepest parts. This is an eye opener here. As I look down and see all this beauty, and think, “This is what God sees when he sees us, His canvases that tells their own story.” Though we may be in the valley at different points in our life – God sees it all, at each given moment, like a person in a plane flying over the canyons. Just a very surreal moment for me.  Psalms 121:3-8

From LA to MX we took an Alaska Airlines plane. Right now the West Coast of Mexico is right outside of my window. With the white clouds against the blue ocean with the shores out lining the massive body of water it is truly breath taking as well. The clouds are a brilliant white, some are over the water and it looks like popcorn that’s fallen out of it’s bowl, but the clouds in the distance, that covers the lands looks like hand made mash potatoes. (No – I’m not hungry)

This flight is much like my last – being that there are 3 seats, but only two are occupied. The gentleman next to me has the name of Miguel, and he’s returning home. It’s funny he’s carrying on a conversation with the guy in front of him. I’m not ease dropping… I’m just trying to see if I can pick up on any of the Spanish. I can pick up numbers, time of day, “tambien” the 4 W’s and the “H,” but not much else. I think if they were speaking slower (by A LOT) I may have better luck?
