Somebody’s on our side…

How else would we have been THIS fortunate to have such unbelievable weather?? The Springboks, including myself, traveled to the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point today. All I can say is that the views are absolutely unreal. Let me try and paint this picture for you even though I KNOW I can’t do it justice: Bright blue water stretching as far as you can see, majestic cliffs everywhere you turn, and unbelievable wildlife all around us. It was perfect.

What I’ve quickly learned from every experience I’ve had here so far is that this is exactly where I’m supposed to be. I had a lot of doubts about coming to a place I knew absolutely nothing about with people I didn’t know very well for 5 entire weeks. I love to travel but I get travel anxiety when I’m put in positions that I’m not familiar with. But I have to say, on our very first day when the clouds cleared and sun came out right as we drove to the top of Signal Hill and we got our very first view of Table Mountain, I knew that was my sign it was all going to be okay. Every situation I’ve encountered here has ended with the same result. There hasn’t been a night where I’ve gone to bed with anything but a smile on my face.

There is a reason all of us are on this trip. There is a reason we are here. It’s all part of a plan. And let me tell you this, from the girl who gets travel anxiety, it is so good to know God’s got me covered.
