Tues 26 May: It’s gonna be one of those days

I woke today and had a great time chilling with Jesus this morning. I left with such a sense that this day was not going to go to plan and that God was preparing me to trust Him things that would not go well. The day got off to a great start. I had a good class catching up on all I had missed the previous week ready for my exam on Thursday; managed to book flights to Jozi for Thursday. I then went to immigration to extend my visa- and it had never been so easy. It took a total of 2 minutes full of smiles from the officer. Next to ZIMRA (Zim Revenue Authority) to extend my Temporary import. They had changed their process, but no problems – I paid carbon Tax, got insurance, and then waited for the stamp, I waited and I waited. For about an hour. I sat there thinking how well everything had gone so far. Looking back that should have been my warning signal. I left the office an hour or so later a little distraught, without my car papers, a US$400 fine and permission to drive my car home and park it until I paid. I made it through the day reeling at what had happened, but clung on to the fact that God had prepared me for this. He has called me here and He is my protector and provider – Two truths I need to cling to right now.
