Heather in Neverland Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 In less than 24 hours I leave on a PAC750 airplane to travel to Bokondini, Indonesia. I have been so excited for a few weeks but now that it is here I am having a series of anxiety attacks. For the past two days I have been swinging from being excited to waking up in a cold sweat from a nightmare about the plane slamming into a mountain. I have never been so nervous about something in my whole life. Not even when we moved here. My little plane lands on this little dirt strip: http://www.panoramio.com/m/photo/3968851 Wanna freak out with me? Or tell me it's all going to be ok?

Kelly1730 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Aww, Heather! I can't imagine anyone NOT being nervous:) God has brought you this far, He's not about to leave you now. Thanks for the reminder, now I can be praying for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfarm Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 My dh fights anxiety. He says the biggest way for him to avoid panic attacks is to pray for others. It helps him to change his focus and also to get perspective on his own troubles. Best wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Wanna freak out with me? Or tell me it's all going to be ok? Don't freak--it's going to be OK. Dh used to fly bigger planes than that and land on airstrips about the size of the one you're going to. Seriously. It's going to be ok. Have fun!

Night Elf Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Alright, that picture does freak me out, but it's all so beautiful! What a great opportunity you have. It's going to be fabulous, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I've flown something similar and survived. You will too. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8circles Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halftime Hope Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Heather, thanks for the reminder that it is tomorrow! : ) I'm so excited for you. What if I offer to be your "freak buddy?" If you can let me do the "freak out" for you, I promise I'll do a really good job :scared: :willy_nilly: :eek: ..... so you can 1) get down to enjoying the experience, because it will be something radically different and you might not ever get to do it again (although I hope you get to go again and again if needed), and 2) focus on accomplishing extraordinary things. You, and you alone, are the woman that God has pre-ordained for *this* job--He has prepared you and molded you for this time and place. (Pushing and shoving everyone else out of the way...) I'm your #1 fan on this one, OK? I got your back! :grouphug: Now that I'm in charge of the freak, YOU'LL BE FINE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 You might throw up now but you'll be fine once you are on your way. :D Praying for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Look, there is NO debris on the runway! The last plane made it in okay. :) Sending happy travel thoughts your way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Lol--IT'S GOING TO BE BETTER THAN OK--IT'S GOING TO BE FREAKING AWESOME!:-)Yes! Little planes are fun! I think I typed this out once before and the board crashed before I could post - forgive me if I'm repeating myself. Big planes are like busses. Little planes are like cars. Understand that you will feel the ride - it's okay, expect it. Look out the window! I bet you will end up so fascinated by the scenery that you forget to be terrified. Have a wonderful adventure. Praying for peace to settle upon you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
