Anyway, last night was my first night to sleep in my new room in South Africa. I actually didn't go to bed until LATE...we stayed up and watched the Colts vs the Ravens live (which meant it was on from 11:30pm to 2:30am).
I don't normally remember my dreams, but last night I did. I had a dream that I was talking to my dad. It wasn't a memory or a dream of something that happened in the past. It is hard to explain, but it was so vivid. He told me how proud he was of me and at one point I actually began to pray that God would let him come back, but he stopped me. I asked him if he was happy and he said, "24/7 in the presence of Jesus, now that is happy!". I sure do miss my dad, but I am so thankful for his memory and for this dream. There are so may kids out there who don't have dads...I feel so priveledged to have had one that was so good to me and helped me become the woman that I am today.
On another note, here is a picture of a horse right outside of my house. As a side note...my dad loved horses. He even bought me one when I was 11 because he wanted one. He always loved horse movies....he would love it that I have wild horses in my backyard!
As soon as I finish getting my room together I will post pictures of my room.
