We're in Brussels, and we have a four hour layover. Everyone is very excited to contact family and let them know of our safe arrival. I posted to Facebook, and I emailed Chris, Mom, and Gwen. It feels good to be able to contact them. I actually even got to Skype with Mom! She seemed very happy about that! It was the first time she hadn't cried on me in a week! :)
Loading the plane, we are again on an empty plane. I am spoiled! This international traveling thing isn't bad when you have three seats to yourself!
We are now about an hour from landing, and excitement, and fear, are coming to me now. I can't wait to get through customs and ride the speed boat...wind in my hair, water splashing up, and the smell of Africa in the air. God has comforted me so far in my travels. I just pray that he gets me thru these last few hours. I feel the anxiety in my stomach now!
"For you have been my hope, O Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth. From birth, I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever praise you." -Psalm 71: 5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." -Proverbs 3: 5-6
