post break to speak to a southwest rep
Oh thank Jesus,.... and Steven my southwest representative... They were able to get me on another flight today! yay okay but to continue with my train of thought.
So here I was after listening to my voicemail thinking....I cannot believe this ACTUALLY happened! like really?? why!!!! And then as I went online to check my flight and look for alternative flights I kept turning to Meng every other minute saying, "I hate southwest". I have to admit I was really ready to get mad and demand for a flight without having to pay the difference. So I call southwest all ready to justify a flight and they put me on callback hold for 20-30 minutes. At that point I'm just thinking I'm never going to fly southwest ever again. So I hang up and then as I'm checking email and waiting for my callback, I realized that I did not read my devo yesterday because we spent several hours looking at videos online, pictures of spera in past years and then also taking a whole mess of pictures. So I decide to read it to kind of give myself something to do/calm down and as I read it, I couldn't help thinking how fitting it was.
I definitely needed a reminder to check my attitude about the situation and as always God provides in both the physical sense as well as the spiritual one. My anger over the issue would have not made it easier on either party but it would have just caused more stress so the situation (I know it definitely made me feel more stressed out) Also as I checked gmail, my word of the day just so happened to be
As in I chose to magnanimously speak to the southwest representative and not throw a fit over my canceled flight. I think imma have to name my child Steven now to repay him.....or probably not. Anyhoo summing it all up, God provides and even if I didn't get my flight, He is still good.
Okay so that was going to be the end of my post but really feeling the parental love right now. Called my dad to tell him my flight got canceled and rebooked. Sometimes I forget how reasonable my father can be. Probably should have started it off with more than, Dad southwest called at 8 this morning and canceled my flight. But after explaining everything, his response to the cancellation was, "I know it was not your fault and there was nothing you can do about it and your flight is only delayed by a couple of hours. Not too bad. If they try to charge you more for a flight just go ahead and let them. Do whatever you need to do" well I probably shouldn't put that in quotes but it works. Can't help feeling incredibly calm after talking to my pops.
