Anticipation

I am sitting at a cafe' with a cup of coffee, waiting for the last minute oil change to be finished on my car. Procrastination is something I excel at. My car that will be stagnant for the next 6 months yet a week ago the oil light flashed red. Life always has little quirks and it reminds me that we still live on earth, that the trivial details of this life will still come and they still must be taken care of. This morning I read of Romans 8:18 " I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." ... not that an oil change is suffering but it just reminds me that an oil change is not something I will need to worry about in eternity with our Father.

We leave in about one hour from Appleton to Chicago to fly out and I am excited yet filled with peace and calmness about what waits in Africa!
