So today was officially my last day of work with Continental Airlines. Quite heart breaking I have to say. I am on a Company Offered Leave of Absence that can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years and can be called back any time after the 6 months. But considering that we are planning to leave McAllen to go to bible school, I more than likely will not be able to return. So this is it. Goodbye my early morning coffee crew. I will miss you more than words can say. You are another family to me. Goodbye to irate passengars that blame us for their being late and missing the flight, those who have no idea what airline they are traveling on or even what city they are going to and act like we should know it automatically, and goodbye to irregular ops, rebook after rebook, eyeroll after yell, etc. Goodbye to those who make early morning flights fun; those who joke around, dress funny, act funny, look funny, or look like celebrities. Goodbye to making horrible airport boarding announcements and waking up at 3am. Like I said, it is heartbreaking. I really am going to miss it all. Not only will I miss the job and people, but it also means this move is for sure. And while that is exciting because I know it's where God wants us, it also means goodbye to my great friends, a great church, and most importantly, my parents. It means stepping out into the unknown, and my oh my is it scary. It means trusting Him financially (one income for the time being) for school and living and walking blindly. But Abel and I have prayed long and hard about this and know this is where God is leading us. We may be walking blindly in faith, but the road is not dark, because He is lighting it up. Pray for us that I remember this and that we are continually encouraged on this new venture.
