Beautiful story Jeannie, thank you for sharing. Although I certainly didn’t have to weather the storm the way that you did; I too remember this day very clearly. My family and I sat at our departure gate at LAX for well over 15 hours. Our flight was delayed countless times, each time promising departure in 1-2 hours, they wouldnt allow us to leave our gate (thus not allowing us to eat) because we never knew when they would call us to board the aircraft. We did end up boarding twice, once even leaving the gate only to return before taxi-ing. Finally, the decision was made to wait for a different aircraft. Eventually we did make it to Oahu, in the end it was about a day and a half or so after Iwa hit. We later found out the reason for the delay was a hole in the side of the airplane. We were tired, hungry, bored, frustrated, uncomfortable and unable to sleep but OH SO THANKFUL that plane never left the ground not only could the aircraft have put us in danger but after seeing first hand the destruction Iwa left behind I am also thankful we didnt have to weather that storm. We lived in an efficiency hotel on Pearl Harbor for 4 months before finding a house in Mililani due to the lack of housing and displaced residents. But after the cleanup was done we thoroughly enjoyed the islands while dad was stationed there. It never ceased to amaze me how anyone could look at such a wonderful and beautiful place and deny the God of creation.

I really enjoyed this post Jeanne. I’m so happy that God protected you. There have been times in my life that I’ve been afraid and the Psalms have comforted me as well. I really like Psalms 56:3 – What Time I am Afraid, I will Trust in Thee. Very short and to the point, but I remember repeating that over and over at different times in my life.

Great posts……keep them coming!

Beautiful story. Aren’t the Psalms amazing? They cover everything. We are studying them in SS this quarter and it has been a real blessing.

By the way, our speakers at Women of Faith were: Steve Arterburn, Steven Curtis Chapman (he also sang), Patsy Clairmont, Mandisa(music), Marilyn Meberg, Sandi Patty (music), and Luci Swindoll. Will be in G’boro next year around 11-13 or thereabout. Friday and Sat middle of Nov. for some reason cannot find my calendar Check website for tickets as they were going fast. We reserve a year ahead. Nancy
