timing is everything

So, my life is packed, again- 85 lbs of it strategically placed in two bags and a carryon of electronics. All is ready, yet I cannot go. My visa remains in-process at the South Africa consulate in DC. And I , I remain … trusting in full confidence that all will work out in the right time. I remain in awe of the grace given in the midst of having to reschedule flights and rearrange plans; the grace of remaining at home and present with family to grieve together the loss of a member. In this, my being is completely at peace. It seems that all things are working in just the right time, not necessarily my time or plan, but definitely the right time. One of the most significant times was yesterday morning-preaching my inaugural address from the pulpit was an affirming and beautiful experience. It was wonderful fellowship with my church family and my mom and aunt.
In thanksgiving for all things, always.

Countdown is 9 days! and still no visa... no stress though, right? :) All is well. Its amazing to think that at this hour two weeks from now I will be writing a post in my new apartment in Durban. So, thanks for continuing with me in this adventure. I promise it will be fun and exciting and full of all the everyday life stuff.
