If you’ve been a Christian for any length of term, you’ve surely listened the famous “be anxious for nothing” verse from Philippians 4 quoted in times of disturbance or distress.

When I fall back on it, it’s generally over mental feeling about first-world troubles straying from a broken fingernail to the believed to be losing a continuous job.

But Southwest airlines aviator Tammie Jo Shults took that anxiety-crushing mindset to a whole new stage yesterday when her guts of steel property 143 passengers( and 5 crew members) to safe after one of her engines blew.

The 56 -year-old tapped into her Navy fighter pilot skills when her Boeing 737 -7 00 is entered into crisis procedure at 32,000 feet.

“So we have a part of the aircraft missing so we’re going to need to slow down a little bit, ” Shults alerted a controller ( with the same naturalnes with which one would notify the McDonald’s drive-thru cashier that’ the cheese is missing on my part pounder’ ). Ya know, merely an engine blowup. No big deal.

To add she drew this off with the “peace that transfers understanding” would be an understatement.

With her first taste of hovering being touching down F-1 8 fighter jets at 150 mph, perhaps Shults’ unwavering heroism in the face of fatality should come as no surprise … but it is about to change, her mysterious position comes from a much deeper plaza: Jesus.

The Christian mother of two says her capacity in the pilot’s accommodate has given her “the opportunity to witness for Christ on almost every flight.”

And never did her unshakeable faith reflect more brightly than yesterday, when the Rock on which she stood demo up in mid-air, realizing her operation inconceivable appear like a breeze.

While one passenger tragically died in the accident, the remaining 143 fares who met “peoples lives” flash before their attentions at 30,000 paws are spurting with grateful that the flight hero moored them unscathed in Philly.

“She has nerves of steel, ” articulated passenger Alfred Tumlinson. “That lady, I praise her. I’m going to send her a Christmas card — I’m going to tell you that — with a endowment certificate for coming me on the soil. She was awesome. The maiden, the gang, everything, everybody was immaculate. They were so professional in what they did to get us on the ground.”

Another passenger, Diana McBride Self, took to Facebook to kudo Shults’ stupefying behave of mettle executed with the utmost grace.

“Her grace and knowledge under pressure were striking, ” replied Self. “She came through the Plane personally to check on us after she property our crippled airliner … We were truly all in amazing hands.”

Interestingly enough, Shults hardly ever got the chance to become a aviator, as she was reportedly rebuffed at aviation career day in high school for being a girl. The continue hopeful aviator was disavowed a test by the Air Force, but thankfully the Navy grasped her up, and she becomes one of the very first female boxer pilots to control F-1 8s.

Many attribute Shults’ miracle shoring to divine intervention — and by the bang of her backstory, it seems as though good-for-nothing else could explain this unlikely chain of events. God had her in that specific pilot’s posterior for a reason.

Bourman was one of countless passengers who ascribed Shults’ gutsy act to the side of God.

“God referred his angels to watch over us, ” she said.
