school of life!

Let freedom ring! I've been in Cape Town for 3 weeks now...the reality of this time is here. I have had some time to settle down and get used to life on the beach and now reasons for us to be here are apparent and flowing. A few months ago in January I met Roxanne through our mutual friend Zack Jones, by the end of my last semester of college in May, Roxy and I were best friends planning for me to come visit. We "put it out there" to God and the universe..and here we are..now! It is amazing what happens when you let go and let God come in and lead you.
For the first time in my life I really had to let go and step out on faith to come to South Africa for 4 months. Now that I am here, it seems like the easiest decision ever..but when I was home in Georgia trying to make these decisions, I came up with every excuse to not go. Stepping out of the path of the majority, my comfort zone, to open up to new experiences, new ways of living, and a new way of learning...
"Yes" has been said and felt so many times since I've been here. I feel God's presence over me and am literally doing every thing that I am interested in..yes! So much abundance when you open up to opportunity and allow it to take you. I've had some good times with God, reading, prayer, walks on the beach..living not minding what happens. Been really nice to just "be". I've found that in this state of openness I am more alert, happy, and creative. My mind is free and active. Using all of my senses now in the school of life.
Finding deep peace and gratitude now. This very moment! Roxanne and I decided to create a blog so that we can share with our family and friends our growth and experiences. We want to unite with all of you in life right now. Please feel free to comment by joining the blog. We are happy to hear from each of you. And we welcome prayer requests.
Sending a wave of African love back home and across the world..universe! Hope you all find a moment during the day to feel the peace and love within.
Many blessings and love, Lizzy
