Airport insanity

Such a horrible crazy day yesterday. The details would take all day to go into, but short story is the kids and I arrived at the airport at 6 and the weather eventually ended up forcing airport to close. Thousands of people trying to reschedule their flights. I had been talking to a girl who convinced me to give her a ride with my dad who was on his way to get me, but then all the roads closed and we got trapped. Christian paniced a bit in airport jail. I wanted to take my kids out, but this girl convinced me to stay in the airport. She was asking us to stop walking so she could charge her phone, but Christian wouldn't calm down enough to stop. She finally found an outlet and stopped and I was able to get away a few mins with Christian. She was sticking with us cause she was still expecting a ride, even tho I didn't even have a plan at all for getting out because we were stuck. Christian and I walked down a moving platform and the stroller wheel got caught under the belt. I had to emergency stop it to get the wheel out, but when I turned back to Christian, his shoe was there and he was gone. I paniced and was racing around looking for him, when this girl came back smiling and waving like she didn't notice I was upset or my kid was missing. I went around a corner and she followed me and praise God a security guard had found him. I was crying and holding him and the security guard gave Christian and lecture. I called my parents and told them I'm leaving now. I'm getting a cab. As soon as this girl heard that, she just left. I was angry. Why was I trying to help some user girl who didn't even care when I was having a serious crisis. My mom said that was the enemy attacking - I am a nice person but I have these kids I have to prioritize and I can't be that girls solution. She was so right - I let that girl take advantage and really use me. I left the terminal and took my kids outside. We waited 3 hours for a cab (I should have done they from the start). 18 hours later, we got in bed at a hotel. We're here now and my dad should be coming to get me assuming the roads open today.

I learned an important lesson that not everyone that needs help needs it from me. There's user people in this world and while I can be a light, sometimes the enemy is bringing them to me to tear me down. But God spoke to me through my mom and gave me clarity and a way to escape

I felt God has a purpose for me being stuck. I can spend Easter with my parents and sister now and I can go to church like i wanted to. I messaged the ow my former friend today and asked her to come to church with me Sunday. She is not saved and with her marriage recently ended, I am praying she is open to coming. Please pray she accepts my offer. God is going to use this for good.
