I am still in disbelief that I'm headed to Georgia in less than 24 hours! A couple of months ago I posted about my friend -- that I was unable to visit but was afraid to tell her. Well, through a series of events, God not only made it possible for me to go, but my ticket ended up being virtually FREE. That's right, free! (I did end up paying $10 in taxes and still wonder how tax can be assessed on a $0 item)
So, I'm headed to Jacksonville where she will pick me up tomorrow, escort me to her home in Georgia, and then I get to spend a couple of days learning from and gleaning wisdom from Lonnie. We've already decided the beach is a must-do. I love sitting in the sand with my eyes closed, listening to the waves pound in as everything around me begins to silence. In those moments all I can hear is the power of the ocean and it's mesmerizing. I easily get lost in the majesty and inevitably my mind remembers the greatness of God and his almighty power. I can't wait!
We'll also be going to Savannah and I so hope it measures up to the way my imagination has plotted.....romance, plantations, old-day Southern charm. Regardless of any met / unmet expectations, I'm sure it will be fascinating!
But more than anything I'm excited to spend quality time, re-energize a friendship maintained across the miles, and rejuvenate my floundering being. I pray this will be a turning point in my time of sifting.
