Miracles happen!

So I made it back home and man let me tell you nissim geluyim..( i apologize to those who already know this story)..i get to the airport at like 345 am(muchos to my friends who took me- u the bomb!) mind u the flights not till 600am..there are no airtran personnel there and pple start drifting in at like 445 the pple who shud be working there decide to show up and then that is when all mayhem breaks loose! pple start going everywhere, all of a sudden im at the end of the line pple who showed up waaay aftr me get ahead of me..finally i get to speak to aperson and i tell the lady i wanna fly standby ..she tells me..get this..ma'am u understand that all the flights home are overbooked today?..kay i was freakingout cuz when i checked the flights there were tonz of empty seats but what can i do at this point? so i tell her fine and i take the ticket go thru security and get to my gate (ive been here a 100 times already i can do this walk in my sleep!) and i go up to the gate agent and i tell the guy that im flying stanby he's like..u have to take a seat and then we'll call u the plane is supposed to be full...so im sitting there waiting anxiously if i dont get home today my parets are gonna kill me i was thinking...finally they start boarding its 15mins to the flight there are still 18 empty seats (are u keeping up with the numbers there will be a quiz at teh end..) at ten minutes to the flight they close the gate and they call standby they had called all the standby pple to stand by teh gate so we coud board really quickly at exzcatly 550 outta nowhere this huge barage of pple come barreling down to the gate at 553 these ladies come stroling down holding their ice coffee the gate guy is like "u almost missed ur flight cuz of yoiur dunkin (donuts)" and they just keep strolling on to the plane..finally they tell us that the flight is full..we all go sit down dejected i was not in the mood i hadnt slept since friday nihgt ive had my contacts in since friday morning i was hungry i had no means of enetertainment..i just wanted to get home i was sitting there in all my misreable glory considering whether i shud go buy food, buy a book (my library has seriously been enhancd since i started flying) and im just sitting there all of a sudden..they called my name! omg! they called my name..miracles of miracles apparently this guy was getting off the plane cuz he oroginally had an exit row seat but wsa then moved to the back didnt like his seat wasnt comfortable so he was getting off the plane..everyones eyebrows are raised at this point..i know its really strange..i was estatic..BH i was the first person on the standby list...!so i got home and suprised my parenst they though that i was coming home at 2pm..

k..beautful story.. u did it again..managed to have a nuts story! but the shayler in life is what do we learn from it? well i just had a quick brainstormin session and i think this jus may work i mnean u cant have an awesome story like that andnot have anything to learn from it right?

k first point that im gonna make..when i checked online to see what the seat availibility was i saw that the first flight had 16 empty seats but the 7am flight had 35 empty seats and i was comsiderin goin in for that one..after all then i cud sleep later and i wud for sure get a seat..yea right..BH Hashem put in my head that i shud go for the earlier one and BH that He made it that i was the first person on the standby list otherwise i wud never have gotten on and who knows when i wudve gotten on..i think this very much ties into the concept of "im lo achshav az amatai(amasai for teh ashkanizim)" we cant push things off cuz u never know what will come up..many a time this has happened to me taht ill be at home and ill lookl at the the clock and im like oh..i still have an hr till i have to daven mincha and then abt five mins before im abt to daven ..something happens my not frum cousin i havent seen in yrs pops up..my grandparents show up..my bro needs to be picked up from school..something happens invariably at teh last minute and i miss mincha..i tell myself next time itll be diff next time i wont push it off but somehow..u know what im talkin abt..i was gonna clean my room but then this came up..and sometimes the reason we wait seems logical..i had a really hard day at school/work/home..i need to chill relax get myself together otherwise i wont have any kavana..we tell ourselves this and then by the time daving comes around..im flying doing a thousand things and i cant daven...- point number one

number 2-
there are times when things are imprtant to us..we want to put in the extra effort..whether it be shabbat dinner or being nicer to our sibings..our parents..davening..we all have the area when sometime we feel like we wanna give it an extra oomph..we get up early..we get the airport 3hrs early dont sleep at all the night nbefore try really really really hard to get the thing we want done..but then it seems like we fail..we try to be better with the parenst and for five minutes we really are better bit then we blow it..we try not to get annpyed at ur sibnlinsg but they just keep vexing u till u just cant anymore and you yell back..and it seems like the effort wasnt worth it..im just stuck here (ive been stuck at airprts i know i hate the feling) iots a horrible feeling thinking that ur stuck and u cant move..but you dont know what Hashem has in store for you...and tthe fact taht u held out for those extra five minutes means taht next time it will be all that easier...Hashem doesnt expect us to perform miracles thats His job and beatng the yetzer hara is a miracle everytime! so we justhave to try..we have to jump and He'll carry us..He'll make us fly why we hold our super man pose..it looks like we is doin it but really its G-d thats carrying us adn flying us..we just have to try and make the leap..

k third point cuz i hjave to leave soon!
there were all these pple who werre late to the flight and almost missed the boarding call cuz they was getting themselves coffee..k now lisrtne im all for the power of coffee and i am not one to say that u shud go without but seriously..missing ur flight..wait till u get to home get coffee (we have dunkin donuts too and starbucks and caribou..) but these pple didnt seem fazed they just strolled in..no problem..how often do we miss the boat...do we miss the really important stuff cuz we get sidetracked by things i think i abt this last week but i think its a very imporant consept..Hashem gave us so much in this world and we are so spoiled..whenever i go into starbucks i am awed by the gashmius that has pervaded the world the amnt of money that we spend on drinks and things like that..i mean it used to be that cioffee and tea were the simplest cheapest drinks but now we have so many flavors optiosn ..soy..expresso..sugar free.fat free..it just goes on and on..and BH we shud enjoy and take advantage of all the great things that Hashem has given us as long as we remember that it is Hashem that is giving it to us..and that without HIm we'd be no where and we just need to make sure that we dont get so distracted taht we get lost and cant find the right gate and miss our flight...(its free He's gonna carry u u just need to get there)

and one last thing that im quickly gonna say..we all have miracles taht happen to us everyday and we have to open our eyes and look for them cuz they are all around us and yes i have freak stories but i took my own advice this week and i just jotted down on my ipod things that occurred to me..possible blog topics and let me tell u that it really changes the way you see the world

so thast it for this week..im signing off it didt really flow but hopefully u got what i was saying!
peace out!
