I wanted to share this because it was one of those moments as a mother, where God hugs you so tightly through the actions of His people, that you feel like everyone around must see His arms squeezing you.
It feels so incredibly tangible.
The pilot was leaving the cockpit as we were exiting the plane and I told Sledge, “Buddy, tell him what you want to be when you get older and for Halloween!”
Sledge pointed as he sped forward, “I want to be you! I want to be a pilot.”
His response: “Well then, go sit in my seat because that’s your future view!”
Sleddy jumped in that seat like he’d never left, his eyes big with wonder, feeling the affect of kindness ten-fold. They didn’t realize that while they handed him his little toy wings, they infused mine and Will’s with supernatural strength.
Once again, a million thousand prayers coming to pass all at once.
The fact that the pilot could understand him and that Sleddy could voice this! UNREAL!
I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched God absolutely obliterate the box that the world has put us in. The box is often sub-conscious and not crafted with mal-intent— it often just happens— these constructed ceilings based on the limited, finite view we have here. It feels responsible to adhere to them sometimes.
But every single time, I’m reminded that what we can’t see is SO MUCH MORE REAL than what we can.
I post these miracles happening in real-time but you don’t get to see all the other— the actual LIFE that’s being lived in-between. The gritty. The hard. The discouraging moments. The constant surrender of the future. The picking up and the putting down of the expectations of the world— time and time again.
I’m so wildly grateful for a Father who knows when our wings need a little extra pick-me-up.
I always think about the view that He has….in a plane, we see a little zoomed out, but imagine His view.
He’s the opposite of worried. He holds the world in His hands.
And yet, He comes close. So tender + aware. He helps us remember that what the world calls a ceiling, He sees as a runway.
Sometimes, He lets us sit in the cockpit so we can have a glimpse of what He sees and it’s the surge we need to carry forward 🤍
