Out of our element
July 7, 2023
Life is complex. I find myself starting projects beyond my personal expertise, knowing my goal but not exactly how to get there. This was true when I first stepped in a new African village where I wanted to help widows and orphans as well as just taking care of my aging living space.
Sometimes creatures God has created inspire me. The world’s largest living reptile, the saltwater crocodile is found on many South Pacific islands. And he’s a poor swimmer who relies on land for food and water. Their secret: they travel when surface currents are available. They may wait in shelter for days to catch a favorable current.
We have three new project proposals. My lesson: If it’s God’s project and I’m listening carefully, the current is favorable, full speed ahead.
