I've been delayed.
I'm not very patient.
I've come down with the nasty American FLU.
I'm angry.
I should be back in South Africa by now but with the tiny ounce of strength in me, I'm in the bed resting and taking a steady regimen of meds.
I'm reminding myself that waiting on the Lord is good. He is the true Healer and my strength! Praying I can get over this flu fast so that I can get back to work in South Africa SOON!

Psalm 27:13-14

I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.

Psalm 33:20-21

We wait in hope for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
