Our journey started in Denver on Thursday afternoon just before 1:00pm. We flew to LA and then transferred to the International Terminal to check in and again go through security to board the flight to Singapore. Waiting in line for security, we were surrounded by people from many different countries. My travel mates were worried that we would miss our flight as we had a short time and we were at the end of a very long line. I was anxious because as I looked around at all the people, I knew they all had a story. I wondered where everyone was going and why. Were they US residents going home to visit family that lived thousands of miles away or were they just visiting the US. Were they full of joy or heartache. We all looked very different, were going different places for different reasons but we were all made in the image of the same Creator God. It was eye-opening to stand there in line and look around to see the nations right there before me. It reminded me that God loves all people and He wants us to work together to bring His Kingdom to earth. Again, I was humbled that God would allow me to be there, taking it all in, rejoicing in how He made us all so different, but yet so similar.
We made the flight just in the nick of time, they were making the last boarding call as we ran up. Of course, one of us got flagged in the security line to have her bag checked slowing us down even more, but we made it. The flight was uneventful, I think we were all too excited about what was to come to sleep , which was a big mistake. The Asian people we encountered on the flight, both flight crew and passengers were all so friendly and beautiful. I am in love with the people of the southeast part of this continent!
