I started to wonder if this "Mommy Birdie"
was really a chicken!
But then I heard a little whisper in my soul that said,
"Maria, look and see the wonders of My creation."
I took a long slow breath, and from that moment on
I wasn't so afraid.
I relaxed, ordered some tea, and
f l e w!
I loved every minute of our time in Texas.
Jason's apartment is amazing; his work is gratifying and I am so proud of him!
I cried as we stood side by side and sang together at Austin Stone on Sunday.
His sisters will be visiting at other times this summer ~ they can't wait!

God bless you, dear friends

Hi Dear Maria,
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful sky/airplane views you captured. Clouds are just the most amazing creations. I never tire of looking at them! We are having a couple of flying trips coming up soon too. I am so excited to finally get to see (in person) our newest little bundle of joy..Grandson, A.J. :)
Have a sweet day full of beautiful moments!
xoxo... Gloria
Oh so glad you had such a wonderful trip...and got to visit Austin Stone...you were there with many of our lifelong friends. I have continued to hear wonderful things about that church. Glad Jason is doing well and enjoying my home city! Blessings to you all.
ReplyDeletewow mom!!! those are some AMAZING skywatch photos!!!! The clouds looked absolutely marvelous underneath your plane! I'm so proud of you mommy birdie =)
ReplyDeleteIn that peaceful sky, it's good to let go and relax. Your boy has flown, too. May he remain safe, productive, and happy.
ReplyDeleteNice shots - I love watching the clouds from a plane.
ReplyDeleteYou captured some beautiful cloud formations, Maria!
ReplyDeleteI knew how it is and how it feels. I been through the same experience. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to photograph the clouds Maria. I'm proud of you for being so brave and so glad you enjoyed your time here in Texas. Perhaps the next time you come we can get together? It would be fun.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way when I fly but His beauty always wins over my heart! Beautiful photo's! :D

Thanks for sharing.
Have a nice weekend
Amazing - to be over the clouds is alway special. And it's worth overcoming fears to get together with loved ones. So great you had a loving time! Enjoy your weekend, Maria! xx
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos to remember your flight, it is an amazing experience. In a few weeks time I will be flying off to Boston to catch up with family and really looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your recommendations on the web page for creating post mark photos, great fun.
A true miracle those wonderful beautiful clouds .
ReplyDeleteYou are my ONE AND ONLY SKY-FRIEND Maria . I absolutely love your beautiful sky-blogging .
The words and the clouds translated to living-life .
You had to give over to be in the sky to see your son who left the nest . My youngest Thomas will be leaving soon august 1 to have his own place in a studentshome .
I am planning to make the little room in my house a children's room again , for Eva when she will be staying here . Her mother will be working as a stewardess in october again .... My son can take time off having his own company but the grandmothers will stand by !
Have a cosy weekend sweet friend
Oh Maria, I KNOW THE EXPERIENCE! My first flight ever was 32 years ago to JAPAN from L.A. It was a 14 hour flight and I was out of my wits. I did not know the Lord at that time, so I don't know how I handled it...but these days, I do what you did. Just sit back, enjoy the creation and let it be.....whew...I so know what you are saying!!!! HAPPY DAY MY FRIEND! Anita
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way to stay in close contact with our CReator..
ReplyDeleteI loved your shots..absolutely out of this world. I enjoyed some sky shots from some of our most recent excursions also...Could not get enough..

ReplyDeleteIs it possible for clouds to be joyful? These certainly are.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you were able to see your son again. I understand the feeling. I do miss my Ginny so much but know that I will see her again in a few months.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you Maria!
Love Di ♥
Maria ...I AM SO SO IN LOVE ...
ReplyDeleteEva is adorable sweet .
I have a picture her daddy made on my blog.
The funny dress she is wearing was send to her by post from France by my daughter Anna who lives there .
She loves everything there but the only thing is she cannot see Eva as much as she wants to .
I'm glad I can see her !
Oh and her daddy is so cute with her . SHE SMILES to him and my heart mealts and heals ...
Oh how grateful I am .
Hope you will have this to some day . Lots of happiness from me to you sweet Maria .
Amen! What a beautiful post!

ReplyDeleteI don't fly...and my one regret is that I don't get to see anything as beautiful as these photos. I'm proud of you for taking that deep breath.
