insync

I am having a love affair with Africa this last week and a bit. Too often, we as South African's living in South Africa, can be so focused on the negative in our land [which really does exist], that we loose sight of its beauty. We also loose sight of how close at hand that beauty is. Or we take it for granted, as a been-there-done-that type attitude grips our hearts.

This last week has been gorgeous, not just in the people i have met, but in the gorgeous landscapes i have scene [deliberate spelling mistake/pun] and the amazing animals so close at hand. I am choosing to enjoy what is around me, while its around me....so for my birthday I have treated myself [on behalf of my parents] to a one year pass so that i can go and sit and watch marine life anytime i want.

There is something so relaxing and refreshing just sitting watching fish in their glorious colours swim by, seemingly peacefully. just a place to exhale and enjoy the shapes, sounds and colours of creation.

I spent my morning there, and left feeling like i had found my happy place. I even watched the dolphin show. Look how perfectly insync these 3 were. I struggle to get my own body to be co-ordinated....let alone to be in step with someone else's movements. If you ever need a good laugh you should watch me attempt to dance. But these 3 were in perfect sync.

Reminds me of a favorite scripture of mine - will use the Voice translation
Galatians 5:25
Now since we have chosen to walk with the Spirit, let’s keep each step in perfect sync with God’s Spirit.
Don't run ahead, or step out of time....stay in step with Him.
