The night before a big adventure
So here it shall begin, one large adventure along the Great Adventure. Really, getting ready for this semester in Namibia started over a year ago. And through some trials, mishaps, and successes, here I am awaiting my dreaded alarm to go off at 3:30 tomorrow morning to begin the travel part of the semester. I think the week before going is the worst, because I have no idea what it will be like when I step off the plane-and so now I wait. But waiting has challenged me to take deep breaths, remember my blessings I have in family and friends, and continue to pray for peace, trust, and the courage to lay my hopes and fears at the feet of Christ. Thank you for taking a moment to read this, mixing your adventures with mine. Blessings on your day, and pray that the next post you read comes safely and with joy from Southern Africa!

ReplyDeleteHello Sweet Pea - My favorite hymn verse at church today was "I'll never know how much it cost To see my sin upon that cross." # Now you are on the continent where people are believed to have lived first. Find any relatives and let me know! Hugs from Grandma
ReplyDeleteSarah - Nightline on ABC just had a great segment on a cheta preserve in Ojibraga (sp) Namibia. Dr Marker ( or is Barker?) from CA is the head of this place trying to breed the fast-disappearing cats that are relatively easy to tame, but are disappearing because they threaten farmers' stock. You would just love to visit this place! Hugs, Grandma
