In 7 hours, I will be leaving for the airport in Chicago, flying from there to Washington DC, then through Dakar (Senegal) to Johannesburg, and then on to Manzini. The trip will be about 39 hours, with about 22 of those hours in the air.
This post is titled "God Willing" because at this point, everything should be prefaced with "If God is willing..." I'm packing my bags, and tomorrow I'll be handing them to the airline, who will hopefully transport them to Swaziland. And then I'm getting on a series of planes, which will hopefully carry me to Swaziland as well. When I get there, I will hopefully find someone I know and be able to find a place to stay, a place to live, and other essentials. Then, as someone once said, I hope "to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." And all of this will only occur if God sees fit.
Please pray that God does see fit. Please pray for a safe journey and a smooth transition into my new life in Swaziland. I've got a lot coming in the next few days, and your prayers will be greatly appreciated.
Ben, I am so anxious to hear how your flight went and to hear all about your first 24 hours there. It's so good to read about your thoughts and preparations as you left and I am confident that your heart is open for what the Lord is doing even now. Always, Kaia
