Johannesburg: God Was Always In Full Charge...

I was getting very worried about my accommodation arrangements as the hotel had informed me that Int'l SOS had not extended my stay past Saturday the 17th. I called ISOS several times and they kept promising to call back but they never did. When I called yet again, they said they had called the hotel and spoken to a lady called Pauline. When I got home that night, Pauline had left, but had noted that my stay was only extended to the next day.

I called Mike and asked him to call Dr. Moses and find out what the situation was. I also called Mom and Ulo and we were throwing ideas back and forth when suddenly it hit me! Everything had been done by God so far, with no input by any of us. Why were we now getting involved? Were we trying to help Him? I immediately repented of my sin of lack of trust and sent texts to Ulo and Mom to do the same. Then I let go and let God.

The next day, December 20^th (day 9 after the plane crash), I got out of bed later than usual. It had rained in the night and was quite chilly that morning. I had not realized how chilly until I went outside and discovered that my denim jacket was inadequate.

On my way past the front desk that morning, I spoke to Pauline and she said that ISOS had extended my stay and that the lady who called from their office said Pauline should tell me not to panic, my welfare was their responsibility. 

I immediately bowed my head and thanked God for His grace. I had disobeyed by doubting; repenting, I asked for forgiveness and His grace filled me...

To Be Continued... In the meantime, do not forget this:

“…for the Lord will go before you, the God of Israel will be your rear guard.”

Isaiah 52 : 12b (NKJV)
