San Francisco and My Parents

Today we are heading to San Francisco for the day. I love that city! I have crossed the Golden Gate Bridge too many times to count, yet each time is so spectacular. I'm not sure what Scott has planned for us, but I hope it includes the Japanese Tea Gardens and the Hard Rock Cafe.

My parents are flying in from Hawai'i tonight. They will be here for about 2 days. Then we will take them and Jordan to the airport to leave for Africa. I'm excited for Jordan to go to Africa. I'm a little nervous too. She's only 14, and I hope she doesn't get into any dangerous situations. She will be rooming with a Christian college-age girl. I've basically told my parents to stay with her all the time. She gets to go to Victoria Falls, The Hide (a wild animal park), and Swaziland. In Swaziland there is an orphanage where she can work with the children. Overall, I think she will have a life-changing time. She wants to serve God in missions, so this is a good start for her. My Shona friend, Sylvia, who grew up in Zimbabwe, warned me that people fall in love with Africa. I'm wondering if that will be my daughter.

If you think of Jordan during the month of August, please pray for her. (For her mother too, for that matter). This is a good lesson for me not to worry, since worrying is one of my besetting sins. That's why I have the Matthew passage up on the top of my blog.
