I got on the plane!!!!

I honestly have no idea how I made the trip... it was all of my worst nightmares all wrapped together! Start off with a very early morning and a vary small plane to NY. Nervous but accomplished that. Made it to my connecting flight and was ready to board the plane. They start boarding the plane and it was a complete mess. The flight attendants were so mad by the time I even made it on the plane. Most of the people were Dominican and just sitting where ever on the plane and the other half of the people were trying to sit in their assigned seats! Mine was taken by someone who had traded seats with someone else who had already sat in my seat! LOL Anyways I finally get a seat and they close the door to the plane. Then the poor child behind me starts screaming and kicking the back of my seat.... for an hour!!! We sat there as they had found something wrong with the plane.. another one of my worst nightmares. I really thought I would never be able to get on a plane that had had mechanical problems. Finally after over an hour they let us get off the plane as they are waiting on a part. They gave us vouchers to get food and it just so happens that you have to walk all the way to the other end of the airport to pick up said voucher. Mind you I didn't check my bag so I have my large camera bag and a duffle that is packed with stuff.. I got my meal voucher and then went and stood in line for some food. The girl behind me was talking and I glanced back and noticed that she was rubbing her wrist and that she had a tattoo on it. It hit me that I had the same tattoo. I showed her and we both sorta freaked out. It was my infinity symbol with a heart reminding me of infinite love... My first little reminder that God is always watching out for me and loving me. So after about another hour of waiting we were able to board the plane again.. then the poor child behind me completely melted down and all the other people on the plane started yelling at her and the poor kid. It only helped work him up more! So the plane is finally loaded again and the door is closed only to be delayed again as they had to take bags off... ugg!!! Through this whole process I was so calm. I have no idea what came over me and there must have been about a million people praying for me but I had no issues. Normally I shake even just climbing on a plane and feel sick to my stomach. I felt fine! No shaking.. no nothing! The plane finally takes off and I have one of the bumpiest rides I have ever taken.. when we landed in the DR the whole plane cheered! The whole traveling experience showed me how far I have come and how much stronger I am then I think that I am and that if I rely on God I can do anything!
