Your First Flight... with ShaRhonda Rose

Life is about
a continual

learning
growing

knowing

a continual

facing of fears
trying new things
overcoming obstacles

allowing God

to both show and prove that not only
does He hold the whole world in His Hand

He also
holds us

-----------------------------

Introducing...

ShaRhonda Rose

"Overcame the Fear of Flying"

Have a fear of flying?

This traveler just conquered hers!
(follow her journey)

She says...

"I was ultimately more excited about
where I was going versus the fear.

This woman's got her wings,
and she's gonna fly"

First stop?

Day 1

The Creation Museum

Ready to conquer your first flight?

Travel Tip:

-Start with a shorter flight
-Choose your destination with purpose

the promise of someone/something special waiting for you on the other side
promotes the release of dopamine (a natural brain-boosting hormone)

thus producing a rewarding and calming effect

Thank the Lord!

She says...

"This museum brings a tangible element to
what we have read and learned in our Bibles."

For the invisible things of Him from the
creation of the world are clearly seen in
the things that are made... Romans 1:20

Day 2

The Ark Encounter

Need to overcome a fear?

She says...

"Prayer (lots of prayer)"

The entire process actually boosted my faith,
and became a domino effect in my relationship with Christ...

another prayer answered
another testimony!

Up Next...

A look back at her
year-long journey to get here!

Face Your Fear of Flying (w/ ShaRhonda Rose)

The world is full of

beauty

intrigue

adventure

and there are so many things

to both see and do

But when fear tries to hold you back?

You MUST take time to...

address it

confront it

face it

because only then

will you learn to cope

and/or completely conquer it!

------------------------------------

ShaRhonda Rose

"Overcame the Fear of Flying"



She says...

Thank you Jesus!
I overcame a fear that I can say "I had"

(past tense)

meaning...

Ya gurl is over it!  

Have apprehension or anxiety about flying?

ShaRhonda Rose suggests...

-studying, praying, reading
-creating a vision board
-replacing fear with facts

(in order to)

-step onto the airplane armed with
knowledge, strength, and courage!

The key to facing fear begins with taking one (single) step at a time...

"Courage is not the absence of fear,

but the triumph over it"

-Nelson Mandela

She says...

In my mind I saw myself traveling all over the world,
but was afraid to get on the plane y'all. 

So (for years) I allowed fear to hold me back
from what I wanted most, and was missing
out on some amazing experiences. 

Not anymore!!

This woman's got her wings, and she's gonna fly

Up next...

She's sharing photos from her first trip!

Bringing multiple generations of your family together
does not (necessarily) require extended travel

in fact

connecting with your loved ones
starts with three simple planning details

time
location
destination

Los Angeles to Scottsdale, Arizona
(approx. 389 miles)



Traveler's Tip:

Skip the hotel
and rent an entire house

(using airbnb)

Our featured traveler and her family managed
to get all FOUR generations together under one roof!

the measure of our strength is
found in the time we spend together!
