fly faster...!

My Saturday afternoon in DC was nice, quiet, and relaxing...then the delays began. 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes...finally 55 minutes behind schedule we began to bored the plane. On most days, this does not bother me. Today, flying alone to Africa, I am a little worried. I realize I will have 15 minutes to get off the plane, clear customs, and run the halls of Johannasburg Airport to make my connection to Zambia. If I miss this, I get to stay the night in South Africa.
So, apparently, God can even push the planes along. Despite stormy weather and another 15 minute delay during our refueling in Senegal, we landed 35 minutes earlier than our original scheduled time. I am remembering that He can do More than all we Ask or Imagine...
So after 2 days of plane travel and 1 day of road travel, I have arrived in Choma, Zambia. I will be leaving in the morning for Macha to meet up with the nursing students and jump into clinical, teaching, and all the other fun.
But for tonight, quietness of the African sky, a little homemade guacamole, and me and my mosquito net!
First stop in capitol city, Mugs and Bean...for Carmel Lattes!
