After experiencing an amazing move of God at The Manna Chef Sisterhood Fellowship in Cincinnati, OH, several members of the Manna Tribe and I went on our annual retreat to rest, recover, and plan for our gathering next year. We arrived at the airport, eager to see what was in store for us, as we knew God was still moving behind the scenes. I always look forward to our time together, enjoying the laughter and meaningful conversations, so I was already excited.
The agent at the counter announced that the time had come to board the airplane. We were in different “zones,” so we boarded at different times. Once all of the passengers were seated on the plane (and buckled in), we began to watch the safety video, and the plane began to move.
All of a sudden, the pilot made an announcement, “A storm is approaching in just a few minutes, so we will wait here on the tarmac. There’s no need to deplane, we will just wait until the storm passes, and then we’ll be on our way.”
I was sitting in a window seat, so I pulled up the window shade and watched as the rain started pouring down on us. I thought, “Thank You, God, for allowing us to wait for this storm to pass. You didn’t let us experience the severe weather in the sky.” We had been sitting on the tarmac for quite some time when we heard a flight attendant exclaim, “Is there a medical professional on the plane?”
