I’ve had four flights cancelled and many delayed this year – here’s what God taught me

Lauren Windle has had a bad run with flights this year, but she’s not alone as thousands of flights have been grounded this summer. Here’s what God said to her in the testing times.

My first cancelled flight this year was coming home from Tenerife. I was with a group of friends after a long weekend’s walking holiday (I did most of mine walking from the sun lounger to the pool). It was late in the day, we waited in the terminal and then on aeroplane for hours only to be told, six hours after our take off time, that the flight wouldn’t be moving that day.

I reacted badly. I was tired, ready to go home and fed up. While other members of my group saw the potential for adventure in another night in a new hotel. I sat silently, away from everyone and went straight up to my bedroom when the coach dropped us off. The next morning I was equally antisocial and – let’s face it – crabby.
