...fun...

Oops, 4 months exactly since I last wrote. Well this post comes with a promise of weekly blogging, and lots of photos! I got a beautiful camera named Oscar for my 21st, so I'm going to post a new picture every weekend.

Since May a lot has happened, placement finished, summer work started, Clan Gathering, SU Camp and Africa. My overwhelming lesson of the summer was to enjoy life! I feel like God took me to Africa to refresh me, to tell me I'm His child, and that I don't need to worry. I spend so much time striving, but freedom for me is being who He made me to be and RELAXING in that!

In South Africa we went on safari, I would normally have to justify doing something as 'frivolous' and expensive as that. But God wants us to enjoy His creation, His crazy giraffes and zebras. As we chatted and watched Kruger fly by I felt a peace. I realised I didn't feel guilty about resting like I so often do. I guess that was a glimpse of grace, God's riches for me His child and I didn't even do anything to deserve it.

On a lighter note, we also saw hyena poo, which is white, because they eat bones! And in case you didn't realise, that's me at the top. I want to get back to that child's faith that my Dad wants good stuff for me!
