Arrived safely in Birmingham

After some tense moments (which really is the subject of good conversation over a glass of wine) we have arrived safely in Birmingham.  We took a BAT to Birmingham, dropped off our luggage and then toured the city a bit.   Later today Opa und Oma arrive, and that is, of course, a major highlight for the boys.  We are also glad to have them with us; the support is much needed and appreciated.  On that note, we have been inundated with messages of hope and support from across the world.  Thank you to each and everyone who carries us in prayer and thoughts!

So while we are trying to make memories and carry on as normal, there are moments of sheer panic thinking of what lies ahead. Join me, if you will today, as I pray Ps 23 and Heb 13:5,6 over us for those moments.  Thank you to my Mom, Rita and friend Rudolph Fourie, for sharing those verses.

Note to self: when there are dark clouds in England, you are going to be rained on!
