ahhhh Easter Vacation

tomorrow at noon i am off.
off for a much needed and deserved break from teaching and life on the farm.
i still can't believe it's gonna happen. still not getting "fully" excited.

i was originally gonna head to my "adopted" grandparents in pretoria. o blissful jacaranda city that i love. but they decided they needed to get "out" and that it would be good for me too. so now, we are off to White River. with day trips to Graskop and Kruger (FOR FREE!).

oom tom and tannie magda are so dear to me. i can't even tell you how joyful i am to be going. seriously. i know it might be weird hanging out with the "60 year olds" the old people. but i love them! they love me! and that is about all i care about *smile*

i'll be gone till late monday night or tuesday morning early. depends on traffic.

i've been told it is absolutely outrageous to drive here over easter. so please pray for all around car safety for me. pray i see the big five! pray that the Lord uses the quiet and stillness and away-ness to speak life and rest and joy into my bones.

i'm weary. i can't tell you how many times i prayed with the Lord to not only get away over Easter but to be in mountains. I truly can't believe its happening.

ahhhhhh

i'll be out of touch for awhile. happy easter. here is everything i want to say.
i wrote this last Easter. i could write it all over again.
i'll be remember the red drip blood that made white this weekend.
and rejoicing.
praying you will as well.
