During the Trek, we had team devotions by using a bible study method used by OMers - reading a chapter of the Bible, discuss about God, Man & Jesus and then making an 'I Will' statement for the day/forward.

I remembered our last Media Trek Devotions we were on 1 Peter 1, and my 'I Will' statement was to set great expectations. I realized I hadn't really expect anything from God throughout the trek.

And boy, what a lesson it was for me.

Great Expectations = Great Achievements, Accomplishments & Results

God doesn't disappoint, He is Impeccable - which takes me back to the Word I started my Trek with.

I was expecting God for GREAT things - 1 especially was for my game in Kruger.

The BIG 5 they say, "1 must not be too disappointed if you do not see any", the words of Lize ringing in my ears.

I still chose to expect to see ALL 5! That's MY 'great expectations' from God. So not letting my expectation drop this time!

God IS Impeccable, Awesome & GOOD!

Yeabo!

We saw ALL 5 and more in 1 game hunt, it's almost a miracle to even the Africans!

Humans are greedy and have the "not enough" mentally, and so do I.

We did see a lion family of 3, however we were too low to get a good shot on Camera. I did see the lion's face, shaking his head and flipping his tail as he sat down in the tall grasses. But I just keep wanting more... to see it standing up again, or maybe another lion elsewhere. Haha... that's me being greedy.

Gratitude. A lesson I've learnt throughout this Trek, and must continue in this life I live.

Now, I Choose and Will myself to give thanks for ALL that I already seen & have! It is enough already luh!

I am VERY Grateful.

All Thanks and Praises and Glory to Him alone!
