Halfway there

Greetings!

In my last post I talked about becoming a bit ill before my planned departure last Saturday and the events and reflections that ensued. I healed very promptly and have had no problems with the illness, but since I now find myself in London Heathrow Airport on Tuesday, clearly things did not go "to schedule."

After waiting in Chicago for a while, everyone on my flight found out that it was cancelled for the day, because of a mechanical failure. The best I could rebook was a Thursday departure. So, "Alas, five less days, this is almost what happened anyway," was what I thought. Then I called the airline on Sunday night, and they had a ticket leaving on Monday - so I took it.

This all took a good deal of figuring out schedules and organizing, but after taking care of my illness, I had settled a bit more into not worrying and simply letting myself arrive in Cape Town when God will have me arrive. Things do seem to go on his schedule. Not worrying doesn't mean that I forget what I'm trying to do and how to go about it, but it does mean that I do it by turning to God's strength.

For the Kingdom,

Carl
