A Divine Encounter at the Gym
We attend a gym in our neighborhood and regularly see the same folks walking and working out. We go early and there are not many people there, but occasionally we arrive as the walkers and pickleball participants are checking in.
A month ago, a woman introduced herself to me and asked if we were missionaries. The conversation continued and she shared that she was flying soon and was nervous about it. I asked if I might share how God delivered me from fear of flying. This is a piece of my story.
My Journey from Fear to Faith
When we were publicizing the Theresa book, we were flying quite a bit. I was leaving my children at home, and it did not bode well with me. I was often losing sleep, rest, and struggling with fear as we went through airports and flew from the Northwest across the nation.
At one point, God began to deal with me. He let me know there was nothing I could do as I was up in the air, and I should trust that my purpose was greater than the fears. When I let that sink in, I found I could fly anywhere, alone or with others, with no fear. I was able to enjoy the restriction of flying.
Peace in the Storm
In one incident, I experienced the worst turbulence ever. It was during COVID and we were all wearing masks. People were screaming, grabbing the chairs, other people, and simply losing their minds in fear. I, on the other hand, experienced complete peace and joy, and began singing and laughing. (Thankful for the mask!)
When the plane landed and rolled up to our gate, people evacuated the plane, running off and leaving EVERYTHING behind. I was surprised at how little importance their phones, bags, and carry-on items were compared to their lives, and we were safely on the ground.
The Supernatural Follow-Up
As I shared this with the woman, she seemed encouraged. Fast forward to yesterday. Steve came back from the gym and asked me if I remembered talking to Donna.
She indicated her flight was the worst she had ever experienced. She felt the plane might break up, but she remembered our conversation, picturing Steve and me, and was at peace.
Then she dropped this: “The Lord showed me your faces in a dream the day before I met you.” SHE MET US BEFORE SHE MET US.
God’s Divine Preparation
My heart was thrilled to see how God will encourage and prepare those He loves. So glad He could use me to encourage a new friend to be courageous and trust God.
I hope this encourages you to share your life freely. We never know when it will manifest in a supernatural way. (If I have to be called a missionary, this is the best way. LOL)
