The Coast Part I : Answered Prayer

The night before I left for Seattle, our final destination the Oregon coast, I was running around trying to make sure I had everything. Luther of course on call so he had the next day off to take me to the airport. My friend came over to help with Selah thank God! I had never traveled with an infant and I didn't want to forget anything. I sat at my computer finally getting Selah to sleep and I seriously continplated changing my flight to 4 days later so I could fly with Luther. I had a feeling of impending doom. I finally turned off the computer and went to sleep. The next day I was ready to go on time and Selah was having a great day. We got to the counter to check in and I was able to get a guess pass so Luther could go all the way to the gate. Just as a side note Southwest is a great airline to fly on esspecially with kids! Anyway, I turned around and I saw a familar face from my past. I took another look and it was indead who I thought it was. I walked up to Mary (one of my best friends from high School) and said casually are you going home? She looked up and of course with shock in her face we smiled, laughed and embraced. I couldn't believe that we had run into each other in Chicago both taking the same flight home. I knew it was an answered prayer. Mary and her husband Joel helped Selah and I all the way back to Seattle. Sitting across the isle from them made the flight go by so quickly as we chatted about our lives. Oh yeah... and Selah slept pritty much all the way home. Thanks Mary and Joel!
