I love to watch hummingbirds! The speed of their wings is so fast. I read on
Hummingbird Facts that their wings move about 80 times a second with a normal flight. But when courting a potential mate, this speed increases up to 200 times a second. I'd say that's a whole lot of showing off, if you ask me. LOL.
So, what do hummingbirds have to do with me?
Well, I had two weeks off work for Christmas. And I feel as though the time has flown by so fast. I can't believe it's already time to go back tomorrow!
I had to take an unexpected overnight plane trip back east. It ended up being a wonderful opportunity and I got to meet some very awesome people. I now have another new friend named Jill!
After a very tiring day, I was seated in the middle seat on the return flight. On my right was a woman who had been visiting her parents for Christmas. On my left was a twenty something gal who had been visiting her mom.
Despite a delayed flight and a
very loud crying baby in the seat in front of us, the time went by so fast once we started talking. We discovered that all three of us were Christians. We were each at a different place in our journey. But we were able to encourage one another and agreed to pray for each other.
Isn't that so like our God? I know He placed us in those seats. It was no accident.
I got to spend some time on Saturday with my friend Linda. She's a third grade teacher at the school where I'm working. And she's also the pastor's wife of the church I'm attending.
This is Linda and her husband Pastor George. Their whole family was visiting for Christmas and so I took a few family photos for them.
So happy new year to all of you! And don't forget that God is sovereign and in control.
Blessings and love,
