South Africa

(pic by my teamie Tim W)

"But for me it is good to be near God..." (Psalm 73:28a)

We landed in Johannesburg and actually had a van picking us at the airport to take us to a *safe* place where we were staying for a week of debrief! It was truly shocking and amazing and I think all of us almost cried. My first step off the plane brought the recognition of being home. There are no adequate words. It is very very well with my soul.

"There is no life/
No life without its hunger/
Each restless heart/
Beats so imperfectly/
But when you come/
And I am filled with wonder/
Sometimes I think/
I glimpse eternity."
("You Raise Me Up")
