a little mistake that could have had MASSIVE consequenses!

Well I have finally made it to Cape Town...it was touch and go for a while!
It was a mistake on my part really. Forgetting to get a visa sorted before you fly is never a great plan!haha!

I was in Dubai checking into my flight to CT when the man at the desk said "where is your visa?...your tickets for 4 months and you are only allowed 3 upon entry! You may well be deported upon your arrival." Oh! OOPS!!! then he gets up and walks somewhere and is gone for 5 mins, which felt like about 5 hours to me, who was standing there with a horrible fear creeping over me...thinking I have come this far...this CAN'T be happening! then he comes back and says I might be OK, if not I will have to either pay to change my ticket at border control or fly home!! So then I had 3hours in the departure lounge and a 9hour flight to worry about it! Thankfully God is a God of peace, so regardless of the outcome I could trust in him and that is was got me through those scary 12 hours! that and alot of wine on the flight!haha!!
But at border control,knees trembling, trying not to look suspicious with my stomach doing flips I got through no hassles!

I know it was my mistake, but God in His unlimited graciousness heard my pleas and rescued me from a potentially very sticky and expensive situation. If anything it has confirmed to me that this IS where I am supposed to be for the next little while.
This whole trip seems like it has been mapped out for me by God and that He has made the way since before I even thought of coming out here this year!

I have no idea what to expect in this time. To be honest that's a little unnerving and I feel a little overwhelmed. BUT, I can just cling to the knowledge that God has planned the exact times and places where we should live and at this time this is the place He wants me. And that my friends is VERY exciting and extremely comforting. SO I will run with perseverance the path marked out for me knowing that even if I can't see more than one step in front of me, He has marked out my path and if I lean on HIM than He will guide me!
