Jumbo and Steve left this morning for Johannesburg airport to pick up the team. Maybe an hour after they have left, Jumbo gives me a call .....

Jumbo: 'My car is on fire.'

Me: 'What do you mean with "My car is on fire"?'

Jumbo: 'Just what I said. My car is on fire and I can't stop it. You have to bring me the other vehicle, please'

Me (in my mind): 'What ??????? !!!!!!!!! The car is on fire! Will it explode? Because that is what burning cars do in movies!'

So I grab my sleeping child, jump in the car, and head towards where Jumbo (and a burning car) is waiting for me!

Of course I was overreacting, because that is what we women do! Seems like it was just a wire or something in the engine burning. So Jumbo's dad and I took Jumbo another vehicle, Jumbo called the mechanic to come get the broken one, and he is once again on his way to Johannesburg.

What a start to a crazy summer. If this is the start, it can only get better, right? Friends, we need your prayers to make this a great summer, please! Please pray for safety on the road, please pray for us to not be discouraged by the things that (will) happen, please pray that we will see God provide in amazing ways .... even if we are standing stranded next to the road. Please pray that we will not allow the enemy to steal our joy!

If your prayers were like rain ....... I want to be soaking wet and dancing in it!
