a little Jen on a plane and a big God!

The Bible says that the foolishness of God is greater than the greatest wisdom of man. When many people think of God, they imagine a disconnected 'being' out there in a realm known to us as a place called heaven. They imagine that this big invisible God is has big problems to fix in the world and we consider it foolish to think that this big God is concerned with our everyday lives. Today I experienced just how much God loves His daughter, his child named Jennifer on a little prop jet on her way to Switzerland. I am so very afraid of heights and though I love to travel I never look forward to being in an airplane. The least favorite place on a plane for me is a window seat because I will spend my entire flight looking for a screw to come loose or for smoke to be pouring from an engine, I will look for the worst! So you can imagine every time I sit on a plane I am always considering that this flight may be my very last and though I am not afraid of dying (For I am 100% confident that I will leave this life to be with my Savior for all of eternity and have the bonus of meeting my five other children) I will admit that death by falling from something high is not on my bucket list. So like any other moment on a plane, I sat down and out of my window seat I watched the propellers spinning and thought of my fear. Then I remembered my study that day about how we can ask God for anything and He hears us and how nothing is foolish or small and so I did. I foolishly and silently prayed that I wouldn't be afraid and that God wouldn't let me die on a plane today. I looked out of my window and the remarkable hand of God was right there waiting for my eyes! Out of my window I saw a circle rainbow and right smack in the center was the shadow of my plane!!! This rainbow circle followed us in the clouds and the shadow of our plane was in the middle of it the entire time. In the old testament the rainbow was a promise from God to Noah to never destroy the entire earth again with a flood and today I know God was giving me my own promise. I know that God told me that where ever I am in this life, His promise of my salvation is sealed and death or life or rulers or authorities seen or unseen will ever strip me of that confidence of me in His hand. Falling from the highest place will only land me safely in His arms. My little airplane on this little earth was in His hand and my voice lifting a simple fear of heights to a GREAT and Mighty God was heard and I was comforted by His promise. Enjoy the pictures because I am so happy to capture such a sweet moment from my Dad.
