"Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you." -Psalm 63:3

Wow... what a marvelous 48 hours. Our team flew to Masai Mara Game Camp to go on a real life safari. As soon as we got there we were amazed at the view. You could see miles and miles long and we felt like we were the only ones in the whole world. God is a magnificent artist in case you didn't know.

Our plane landed safely on a grass field where we were then picked up by a land cruiser with no windows or roof (super cool I know). Ken, our tour guide greeted us with a smile and proceeded to tell us all we would experience over the next 24 hours. And then we were off.

Making our way to our hotel (tent) was a safari in itself. We were able to see unbelievable animals interact in their natural environment.

Our God is so big... and that was made so clear throughout our safari experience.

When we arrived at the Game Camp I felt like I was in paradise. The resort was absolutely breathtaking and our tent was more like a 5 star hotel. I loved it... and I couldn't believe the Lord revealed his beauty to me in such a miraculous way.

"My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me- holy is his name." -Luke 1:46-49

Lord, I am continually amazed at your presence in my life. You know me so well. Father, this safari is revealing so much of your beauty to me. You are so vast, yet so intimate. The perfect balance is found in you! Thank you for revealing yourself to me this past month, I am truly in awe of who you are. I saw the tree that your crown of thorns was made of. It makes everything so real. The thorns were so big and I cant believe you endured all that pain for me. Thank you, thank you. I am so unworthy yet you died for me. What am I to do but praise you always. Thank you for creating your animals so perfect and breathtaking. I love you. Thank you for revealing your beauty to me.
