Almost there!

I am sitting from the comfort of my hotel room in Johannesburg after a long few days of flying. I left Winnipeg International Airport at 1:00pm Monday May 3 and the journey began. Its all really surreal ... I can't believe it that me Danene Goulet is now sitting in South Africa and in a matter of few hours going to be flying off to Swaziland to meet the Wards and to step foot on the property that will be what I'll be calling home for the next 6 months. I am beyond excited to really get this started and meet the kids. The flying part went well, the planes were huge and I totally found Gods favour with the border and customs crossings. Another total God moment was the first person I spoke to at the Minneapolis Air Port was a born again christian, I struck up a random conversation and it was so refreshing and what are the odds that she is a women of God, she was telling me all about missed opportunity in her life and how what I was doing was inspiring. Humbling, I reminded her that it is nothing I am doing that all the glory is to God. I touched base with my family and my TC family to let them know I'm safe and sound and i'm prepping for the final step in the first part of this adventure. How amazing is God that this is were he has me in this season of my life. Im sure I will have my moments but if God is for me then who can be against me. It really honestly doesn't seem real yet. At all. I will do my best to upload some pictures and update you as I touch down in Swaziland to the Lighthouse Orphanage. Keep me in your prayers, I was warned that the Swazi customs is a little intense, I am praying for Gods continued favour. I will be in touch.Thank you for the prayers. Much love and blessings.
