God's Gift to Us

8.25.15

This morning, I woke up and walked out on the beautiful veranda of the Ngorongoro Farm House. It was beautifully breathtaking. Celebration of Discipline taught us, “The detachment from the confusion all around us is in order to have a richer attachment to God (Foster, 21). This was the best time for me to spend time with God. I brought out my shuka and laid out on the grass. I looked out into the valley where it looked like it would never end. The sky was a blue as it could be and the sun was peeking through the clouds. The only sounds I heard were birds chirping. It was hard not to get emotional at that time because God gave me the opportunity to interact with people and live experiences that changed my whole outlook. I thanked God that he allowed me to see a whole different world and stretched my faith.

The whole day God gave me many revelations. During our safari, God showed me the unity and peace that he wanted in this world that he created for us. He showed me that before there was anything, ...there was GOD. Before there were humans and animals; universities or colleges; or iPhones; or computers, DVDs, TVs and Mp3s; or the sun, the moon and the stars - or even space itself - God was there. There wouldn't be anything at all if God hadn't thought it all up.

But God DID think it all up.
