Warning

In Africa, potholes are a given, it's just the size which is variant so the saying goes: If you can see a giraffe's head sticking out of a pothole, then you know it's a big one! Hence the dire warning sign: 'Beware Potholes: Next 9 600 km'. But Africa's roads can imitate life and life's journey can be the same. Hard times, crippling sorrows, persecution, betrayals, and natural disasters hit most of us occasionally, and they can leave us devastated. We don't always have the wherewithal to rebuild, restore or reconcile broken relationships without help.
Sometimes we hit potholes and carry on going, or there's minor damage but occasionally we fall in and no amount of struggle will get us out. Then we need help, hope or courage from others who've been in that pothole before. I've hit some awful potholes, too, but found wisdom and humour from others who've done it before. So I'm passing in on.
Are you willing to grab your sense of humour and your vellies (bush shoes) or simply come barefoot on an adventure with my Min Pin, Aspen and me? Closely followed by Benjie but that's okay because he doesn't bite. It'll include a war, a survival course, white water rafting, plus the love of family and friends.
In John 16: 33 Jesus said: In this world you will have tribulation. And He wasn't kidding. But He did also promise sustenance from above to those who trust Him.
This adventure, lived in the power of the risen Jesus Christ and His amazing grace, is one that I hope will inspire you to rise above your circumstances and meet new challenges, make the most of every day despite the pain. In life's dark moments there is always help at hand, one way or another.
