​Finding parking at the airport
So let me continue with my story. There was a lot more going on all around us. Every day. Every minute. But we ultimately came on this trip to take my daughter to the airport, so we made a plan, left with plenty of time to spare, and headed toward the airport. All went swimmingly until we got to the airport and tried to find our airline. The papers and informational had turned out to be rather cryptic. Because of this we were unsure exactly which parking garage to use and which terminal. Now if you have ever been to LAX, this is not a situation in which you want to find yourself. There are dozens of airlines, multiple terminals, and two levels of all of these before you even get inside the airport. So there we are driving aimlessly along trying to decipher all this to get my daughter where she needed to go. Thankfully, I followed my wife's directions and though we took the loop multiple times while trying to find our international flight terminal, we eventually did. We turned into the parking garage and though we were not on the second level like we thought we were supposed to be, we were happy to finally be at our destination. Somewhat amazingly, we found a free parking stall immediately.

Gathering my daughters luggage, we hurried into the terminal. We walked a few feet to the gates, found the right one, met up with the other girls, said our farewells and kissed our daughter goodbye, and she was off.

We had left with plenty of extra time, did our best to quickly and efficiently get to our destination, and had everything prepared, or so we thought. But we faced delays, confusion, and setbacks all along the way;  nevertheless, somehow made it just in time. And what we had spent months preparing for was begun in a moment's time. Everything had to work out perfectly. And it did.

So why does any of this matter to you? If you are still reading this, I realize you may be asking what if anything in this travel log has to do with you. It has everything to do with you.

This scenario is played out daily in every one of our lives, except your journey may not take place at an airport but instead occurs in your home, among your peers, at work and school and everywhere else that you need help and guidance to successfully reach your destination. 

And let's face it, we all need help reaching our ultimate destination. Eternal life doesn't happen quickly or all on our own, but it can and does happen for those that want it and put their faith in Jesus Christ.

Though life is filled with twists and turns that are unexpected, surprising, and frankly terrifying at times, we are not alone. And the great God of Heaven and Earth and all that in them are has announced his very purpose is to bring to pass our immortality and eternal life. So don't give up hope at the moment he is about to perform his greatest miracle of all.

He can't and won't fail.

He did it for you.
