It is pretty frustrating for an airline passenger to be so close to their final destination only to get caught in a holding pattern due to bad weather or other circumstances beyond their control. So close yet so far away…
Our tentative date for leaving for Mozambique was June 20th but the needed finances are still not in place for that to happen. It has been encouraging to see God providing in special ways this past month to help make our move a reality. We continue to trust Him to provide for airfare and luggage. We do feel a bit frustrated not knowing exactly when we will be landing in Africa but we are not sitting idle in the meantime. There is still a lot that needs to be done before we leave. We have been encouraged to get meningitis vaccines and begin taking Malaria prevention medication. We need wisdom in making the decision of what antimalarial treatment to take. We will be working on getting the rest of our packing done as well. We were able to pack up quite a bit before we left Missouri so it shouldn’t take too long to finish up. The hardest part is prioritizing since we know we won’t be able to take everything we might like to. .
So we press on even though we have do not have fixed date of departure. We would still like to be in Mozambique before the middle of July. We continue to wait on the Lord and His timing knowing that He is control and knows what is best.
