Here I am writing again to share an amazing story with you. As a matter of fact there are 2 stories that happened to me while I was on vacation in June of this year. I will start with the first event and then will write a separate blog for the 2nd one.
It started when we booked our flights to Rome using economy seats. I know very well, that long rides or long flights can cause discomfort to my legs. Yes, major discomfort because I suffer from RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome), but I have no choice but to tolerate this long flight knowing for fact that it would be impossible for me to sleep on my seat with my legs getting stiff and numb all the time. So, before my journey began, I started to whine about it and getting anxious by the day. Lo and behold, the day of my flight arrives and I decided to leave it to God to help me get thru it. My husband surprised me the night before by telling me that he managed, due to his platinum membership with Continental, to get us front seats by the wall. I felt a bit relieved because I would be able to stretch my legs but that does not mean that I will be able to spend the night sleeping while my legs would suffer.
So, as soon as we settled in our seats, I realized that the seat next to me was empty although my husband told me that there were no empty seats on the plane even the one next to me was supposed to be occupied. But IT WAS EMPTY (GOD'S INTERVENTION). While I was adjusting my books, I noticed a familiar face on the plane 2 rows behind to my left. It turned out to be my cousin's fiancee who happened to be going to Rome upon my cousin's request to be there with him while his father (my aunt's husband) was slipping away. I did not know how bad he was until Mizar, the fiancee, explained to me the situation and she told me that we will be seeing my cousin at the airport who was coming to pick her up and drive her straight to the hospital. When we all buckled up and ready to take off, I turned to Mizar and noticed that there were 2 empty seats next to her...I could not believe my eyes for she also told me that she was informed by the hostess and the lady at the check-in desk that the seats next to her were taken. GOD'S INTERVENTION AGAIN. She was very surprised to find herself sitting alone. I explained to her about my legs situation and she told me that she had no problem taking my seat or the empty one next to me and I, in exchange, can use the 3 seats and lie down and stretch my legs...I could not believe my eyes, for her seats were the only empty ones and God has sent me a friend with whom I could exchange seats for if it had been some other stranger I wouldn't have been able to do it. I looked all around and noticed that there was not one empty seat except the one next to me and Mizar's. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT THE SEAT NEXT TO ME AND NEXT TO MIZAR'S WERE THE ONLY ONE EMPTY AND yet we were told that it was a compltely fully booked plane...I began to laugh but at the same time tears were coming down my face. I could not describe to you what a feeling I had that moment knowing that God, knew my anxious thoughts and worry ahead of time and He made sure to coincide Mizar's trip with mine so that I get to lie down and stretch my legs. GLORY TO GOD! I told the story to my husband, but he said "yeah yeah". But that did not stop me from telling everyone my story and what God has done for me in order to be comfortable. Cast all your worries to Him and He will give you rest. Amen!
