Flight Attendant

Well, I am excited to announce that I am through some major steps in the process of becoming a Flight Attendant with Northwest/Delta Airlines.

I got in touch with one of my godly friends, Jessica Cenzer, and asked her some pointed questions about the whole idea. She has been a Flight Attendant for 3 years now and was very helpful! She answered them. I noticed that there was an “Open House” on the internet that I would need to attend. I did on the 5th of this month. There was probably about 80 people at this open house trying out for the positions. I had to speak in front of the group, as we all did, and things went well. They told us that after the break and we came back there would be a list outside the door posted of ones picked for the interview. There were about 12 picked to interview out of 80. I saw my name was on the list! I took this as another sign from the Lord as His direction.

While I was there I was able to meet Tiffany Davis. A girl that I had met before in ministry. She is a really sweet Christian girl. It was so neat for us both to be there together.

The next step! I am looking forward to training that I I hear may be in March. We will be flying out to Memphis, TN for three weeks of intense training. If that goes well I will officially be a Flight Attendant!

As I let people know, I am met with cares, concerns and congratulations. All for which I am thankful! As a lot of concerns have come from those I love I am thankful for … But I want you all to know I have thought about this. I have prayed about this. And prayed about this. And taken godly counsel about this. And prayed about this! I take my relationship with my Lord seriously. I am concerned about my relationship with the Lord as I have always been in any situation. I want it to be strong. I know I have weaknesses and I want to humbly ask the Lord for help daily. I need Him so much.

Last night I was thinking and praying I came across some scripture that I know was from the Lord and gave me confidence in His power to keep me.

Proverbs 2

2:1 My son, if you receive my words
and treasure up my commandments with you,
2 making your ear attentive to wisdom
and inclining your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you call out for insight
and raise your voice for understanding,
4 if you seek it like silver
and search for it as for hidden treasures,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
8 guarding the paths of justice
and watching over the way of his saints.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice
and equity, every good path;
10 for wisdom will come into your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
11 discretion will watch over you,
understanding will guard you,
12 delivering you from the way of evil,
from men of perverted speech,
13 who forsake the paths of uprightness
to walk in the ways of darkness,
14 who rejoice in doing evil
and delight in the perverseness of evil,
15 men whose paths are crooked,
and who are devious in their ways.

16 So you will be delivered from the forbidden [1] woman,
from the adulteress [2] with her smooth words,
17 who forsakes the companion of her youth
and forgets the covenant of her God;
18 for her house sinks down to death,
and her paths to the departed; [3]
19 none who go to her come back,
nor do they regain the paths of life.

20 So you will walk in the way of the good
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will inhabit the land,
and those with integrity will remain in it,
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.

This gave me a peace in my heart as I went to bed last night. I realize there will be things about this job that will take a strong Christian to handle. I know that. But again I want you all to know I HAVE thought about the good AND the BAD. I have faced these thoughts already with my parents and most of all with my Lord. But, l am confident that He will keep in me in the paths He has opened up for me.

Blessings to you all, my friends, and thank you for your sweet notes of encouragement to me about this! Will keep you updated…. thanks for caring.
