Challenged

Went to church yesterday and was challenged by the talk. We have been doing a series recently. For the last 3 weeks we have covered "Uniqueness", "Purpose" and this week "Passion".
What I received from the series was a confirmation that this flying thing is not a passing phase. I have unique things about me that make this flying thing possible. My unique skills give my life purpose and when both my uniqueness and my purpose join together I get passionate about things. That is what I feel about flying. I am passionate about aviation. I love aircraft and I don't want to be a spectator anymore. The whole idea about taking my hobby on further is scary, especially as I am not a "spring chicken" anymore, but I don't think that matters. If it means a change of career, then so be it. I was speaking to another lady this weekend who is completely changing her career and she is older than me, and has to get 3 kids through university. In both our cases, it will mean sacrifice.
I am so grateful that my husband is really encouraging about this. My son has also told me to "go for it" and I feel that this is my time, my opportunity for me. So, I am going to grab this even though it feels like I am on a roller coaster at times.
