In the middle of the month, Amber, Jako, Jakob, and I were blessed with a trip to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Amber and Jako had not been to Zimbabwe for 7 years and I had never been, so we thought it would be a great idea, especially to get out of the bush for a week to rest and rejuvenate ourselves. When you live in your ministry, it is easy to keep pouring out day after day, but some times you get too busy to fill yourself back up to the point where you are physically and spiritually dry. Once you reach that point, it is very hard to be effective in modeling the behavior of Christ to those around you and to love them the same. So weeks away, throughout the year are highly encouraged…
This week came in a month that has been physically draining…getting up at 6 am and working well into the night. To wake up in the morning and not have an agenda for the day was the best feeling, words cannot even describe the joy in that moment. To be able to spend hours in Scripture, or a good book, or in silence, in solitude does wonders for the soul. And that is exactly what we did for the week either at the lodge, or by the pool. We also did a short game drive in our own vehicle, visited Victoria Falls, and went to dinner at the famous Boma, where we enjoyed game meat from all around us. It was a great holiday and we are forever grateful for the opportunity to go there and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation.
Below are some photos from the week…I hope you enjoy!!
