2011... a year that I saw God's Blessings and Protection...
Feb 2011, I landed in San Fransisco (SFO) a hr late than scheduled arrival... I missed my connecting flight to PSP. I was stuck at SFO domestic airport. The next flight to Palm Springs was on the next day. What do I do? I do not even have a phone!. God helped me through a gentleman at a counter in the airport.. I found accommodation at a good deal in Radisson!..
An eventful day in March 2011.. I was all set to fly back home. Reached Palm springs airport much ahead on time and was waiting for my flight. Everything went on well till then. I got on my seat, and the plane was rolling. It was on the runway with full throttle...boom fired the engine, there was fire on the left wing.. the capt brought the craft to halt. In 20yrs of service, the airhosts had not heard the captain say to "Stay Put on Seat!". PSP Airport was closed, fire engines came over. The plane was escorted to the gate. What's the miracle here!... A take off cannot be aborted if the aircraft has reached the max speed. Just short of reaching the max speed the captain aborted take off. Just min left before Max speed could be reached. If we had to be on air and the engine fired.. imagine!!.. God was there!!
At the airport there was lot of confusion. Alaska does not operate another flight to SFO. I had to got to SFO and take my flight to Chennai via Dubai. Alaska could not help me but to put me on an American Airline flight to SFO from Los Angles (LAX). There was no option left. It was already close to 10 and the flight to SFO from LAX was at 12:30. From PSP to LA by road takes atleast 2hrs!!. I managed to get a taxi with the coupon Alaska gave me.. My God, I was tensed, will I be able to catch the flight!!!... I reached LA airport and ran to American.. the Gate was closed.. What do I do?!!! All I could was just pray and run... with heavy baggage I managed to reach Emirates desk in one part of the terminal..I ran and told them the problem. God helped me with a seat on Emirates from LA to Dubai.. and I reached Chennai safely as scheduled. I had to fight with a blown up aircraft, I had to fight with time, I had to fight with confusion, but God made the way.
In August 2011, God did a wonderful thing, a thing that my dad was looking up.. we had our Brother married. It was the only dream my dad had during his lifetime. God helped us on that. The wedding was so grand and everyone was surprised. It was God's hand there.
In September I wanted to buy a home. God helped me here. I had to fight a lot. I had to sell one house and buy another. My buyers could not meet the deadline as they promised. LIC played because of internal politics. But God say us through. Did the sale and got my cheque from LIC. I was happy as I had planned my new house registration just two days after my sale. But hold when I went to drop the cheque the name on cheque was correct but there was an issue with my account no that was typed in the cheque. I did not know what to do. The Manager could not help but God was able to through my buyer. Finally had my cheque cleared and bought the house in October 2011. I planned to get on my birthday but God had a plan and he gave the house 3 days later on October 13 instead. I really wonder how I got through this. A huge money involved. I didn't have any clues, no one to guide, had to fight alone but God was fighting for me! Praise be to him.
