Making A Change

I had been blogging on a site called "Tumblr," so I guess you could say I was Tumbling, but I decided it kinda restricted who could "follow" me, thus I am switching to a Blogspot. I will quickly catch you up on a few of the posts on the other site, and hopefully post a new update for you later on in the day, as so much has happened since Jozi/Jo-burg/Johannesburg

On the 20th of January-

This is it.

Today is the day. The 20th of January is here, it has snuck up on me more quickly than I had ever imagined. These last few days in the States have been interesting to say the least. And this rain, definitely not what I was coming back to CA for. :( But the last goodbyes are being said, and 2:30am tonight will come faster than I even know. I’m more than ready for this journey God has begun with me. The 2 orientation sessions only have further exposed small pieces of what HE has in store for me. I am ready. Hopefully via this fandangled new thing called tumblr, you can keep tabs on me and I can share some of what I am experiencing. I will also be planning on communicating primarily via e-mail (robertverwys@gmail.com) and skype (robert.verwys). Thank you for your prayers and support, I can feel God moving already. Blessings my friends/family. I thank God for you and will miss you more than you know. Here we go.

On the 22nd of January-

On the 23rd of January-

Safely in Johannesburg.

10:10 pm South Africa time.

Okay, this has got to be quick. I have a half hour of internet access to split over two days. Just letting you all know I arrived safely and am doing well. Sleep depraved but well. We are going to the Apartheid museum in Johannesburg leaving at 8:30 tomorow morning. Just came to the realization that I did not call Macatawa bank and let them know I am in South Africa so that they do not cancel my account or not let me withdrawl. That could be potentially crippling over the next few days. (Mother, if you could possibly help me with that, I would greatly appreciate it.) Miss you all and thank you for the prayers and support! They are most definitely felt!
