It's been 4 months since I've posted anything on this blog. I guess that just goes to show you how little things have changed in the last 4 months! It's hard to believe that we have been planning this trip for 7 months now, and the time has finally come to, well, do something! :) Nicole and I are now counting down the days (20, if you were curious) until we leave for South Africa. I think our excitement may have gotten the better of us this weekend, but hey, we have everything we need now! The suitcases are out of the closet (and partially packed), but it still has not really hit us that we are going to be arriving in South Africa 3 weeks from today. I'm sure we won't be able to deny the reality of the situation when we are enduring the 18-hour flight from D.C. to Johannesburg.
As we continue to mark the days off on our calendar, please remember to pray for us! Please pray that the finances for this trip would continue to work out according to God's will, that Nicole and I would not forget to pack anything important and that God would prepare the hearts of the people we will encounter in South Africa (but especially our hearts). Please also pray for our flight times. It seems almost every other day the airlines are tweaking our flight times, leaving us very little time to go through customs in Johannesburg. Obviously, we would love to catch our flight to Durban as scheduled. However, please pray that the Lord's will would prevail and that He would protect us no matter what happens).
Thank you so much for those of you who have been praying!

Don't stress too much. Rest in the Lord and take it all in stride. If you have to spend the night in the Jo-burg airport, stay together, and you will be fine. We had to do that once, but we lived to tell about it.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, sweetie! We are praying...I don't want you staying the night in the airport either! ;)
