The Turbulence We Faced Mid Air And The Lessons I Learnt

So guys, here is the thing, 28th of July was the most scariest day of my life, I don't know but I feel I should still tell you what really went on, I don't know if you also have long distance flight experience I would also love to hear from your end.

By exactly 7:35am, our flight took off, at first I was so excited like I would be returning back to the camp and then experience the cold embrace of Israel but on the other hand I was also sad because I would miss my loved ones back home so it was a journey of mixed feelings. When the plane got mid air, I plugged in my earbud and played some songs on my phone, that made me sleep.

^{Scared Mid Air}

What woke me up was loud noise people were making in the airplane, I looked around and I saw people in great fear but since I was just waking up, I did not pay attention to it,not untill the pilot announced we should tighten our seatbelt and possibly hold on the the parachute for possible ejection, I was so scared of my life, I became restless, I looked down from the window to see how many feet we had gone and honestly the only thing I saw were clouds and that means we were over 30,000 ft from sea level.

Now, how was I going to jump from this high feet we had reached? Everybody became so scared, nothing mattered most to me again, the only thing I did was to pray, we kept shouting and shouting, according to the pilot, the Ocean Wave was affecting the movement of the flight so the Cargo plane wouldn't go front or backward so we were stuck in a single spot with the plane shaking up and down. I began to cry for the first time, I did not even know when I shouted my mother's name.

^{I was scared}

The turbulence took over 4 hours straight up there, these 4 hours made me see things far from how I used to see, people from different races, black and white, little and big were all scampering for life that would've gone if care wasn't taken. They were all united and everyone prayed to their God, no one had the chance to hate on another at that moment. Everybody held each other's hands and that was lovely even in that chaos.

Together the storm was over and everybody began to talk to each other like they had known each other for years. I was thinking of something, what if we apply this to our daily lives? Like what if we live racial treatment aside and embrace humanity? In the world where hatred tends to overwhelm us, we could be the little sparkle of love that speaks the tiniest yet the loudest volume.

^{Arrived the airport safe and sound}

Anyways, we arrived at the airport safe and sound and I was so grateful to God for the safe journey that even in chaos, He took me through. Guys, I am now safe, I had to even call my parents at home to tell them that I had landed safe after spending 2+ good days mid air. It's a testimony I will always hold dear to my heart.
