Day #265: Kameelputs, SA: Mercy from the Storm

It's been storming all day and I love it! I needed the break in weather. This morning was unbearable, so I thank God for His mercy, for this cool rain, for the safety from the raging storm outside.

Dale called last night. What a blessing. I always stall for something else to say, something to buy us time, something to keep his voice wrapped in conversation with mine. He is still hoping to visit for a month in March. We are staying optimistic about the possibility, faithful to the idea.

I am getting mail tomorrow. I am so anxious. Isn't it a shame what I live for? I say, whatever gets me through. I'm in a random mood. Just woke from a peace-filled nap and my mind is still disoriented. I hate that-the part where I must surrender to my reality. This is my life. I must live it well. I must live richly.

The most beautiful sunset ever tonight. Simply breathtaking!

hi kate, I stumbled across your blog and am not sure if you are able to check it often, but wanted you to know how much i love reading your posts. I love your ability to see beauty all around you in South Africa and in creation. My husband and I are currently waiting our invitation to serve somewhere in Southern Africa this August...we probably will not get South Africa as he is from there and still has family living there. I am so anxious to just be there... to take in the sunsets you write about and even grow with the challenges that arise. I am praying for you and your peace corps experience all the way in pensacola, florida!!!
