Home sweet home, Suid-Afrika!
These three weeks I’m spending with my family and friends in South Africa before I return to Split, Croatia to join up with all the World Racers again.
At the airport I was greeted by 3 very excited people holding up huge banners with my name on, aka my mom, dad and sister. It was awesome to see them again, and to get the chance to tell them all that God has been doing in my life and the lives of others around the world. Since then I have been blessed with hot bubblebaths, delicious home-cooked meals, a soft bed, etc. (just to make my fellow World Racers jealous as they stand outside in the cold in front of the Eiffel Tower, or have to sleep on the Eurail while having to look at the beauty God created…) 😉
I think I almost gave my guardian angel a heart attack this week, as I was in a car accident on my way to a friend’s house. At a crossing a light truck drove into the front right side of the car, where I was sitting. I was the driver and luckily had no passengers. The car was written off, but God preserved my life and I got away with a few scratches on my face, bruises like a giraffe’s dots on my right side, and a small neck injury where I had to wear a neck brace for a few days.
I have no idea why this happened, but I trust that God is in control and that He will use the accident in His broader plan for my life. Please pray for my safety and ability to follow God, but above all, pray that God’s will be done, and for my understanding when certain things happen in His will.
