There’s a CROCODILE in my backyard!

By Sodwana Bay

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDSr5j5ofJ0[/embedyt] Checkout this cool video of our very first Crocodile found! Lake Sibaya is so close to us that we can literally hear the Hippos at night grunting! So we consider Lake Sibaya to be part of our backyard, since there are so few houses past us! We had been searching for months for some sort of sign that there might be at least one Croc in the Lake! Crocs are not as easy to spot as Hippos since they are so flat and mainly hide in the reeds! We discovered the best way to find a crocodile is to look for moving logs in the water or to find the shimmer in the reeds, more often then not, the shimmer you see in the reeds is a Nile Crocodile!


BE YOU – all the time!

By Sodwana Bay

May the Force . . . Be You [ 1 min read ★ ] . . . what I want mostly is for men to pray—1 Timothy 2:8-10 There are many forces at work in this world—forces colliding, reacting to each other, influencing one another. And you, brother, are one of them. Each of us is. The question is, though, what kind? Are we forces for goodness and generosity? I mean, is this broken, evil world better because of us? Or are we forces that are simply neutral? Or are we forces for ‘me’—for selfishness, for stockpiling, for negativity, or depravity even? These questions matter to God (Galatians 5:13-26). They should matter to us. And if we want to change our kind—or just intensify the positive force we already are—here’s a place to start: intercessory prayer. “Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know” (1 Timothy 2:1-3 MSG). God certainly wants us to use our hands to help people in need, and he wants us to use our voices to reach people who’re lost. But, since “prayer is at the bottom of all this,” wrote the Apostle Paul, what we mostly need to do is pray (1 Timothy 2:2-10 MSG). You see, intercessory prayer—praying on behalf of other people—is the most powerful thing we can do (James 5:16-18). When we do it, we lay aside our own meager strength and call upon the awesome strength of Almighty God. When we do it, we call forth the most powerful force in the universe and focus its goodness and generosity right onto other people and right into their circumstances.   Okay, so what do we do? Take a simple prayer walk—around your neighborhood, praying over each house; around your kids’ schools, praying over each locker; around your workplace, praying over each office and cube. Pray against pain, fear, and darkness. Pray for healing, peace, and light, all in the name of our King, Jesus Christ.    


Caring for Yourself

By Sodwana Bay

Stewardship: 3 Inspirational Thoughts to Make the Most of What God Has Given August 31, 2020 Caring for Yourself I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Romans 12:1 Paul was like a father to his protégé, Timothy. And one of the things that concerned him most was that he look after himself. With safe drinking water difficult to find, Paul urged the young pastor to drink some wine to keep himself in decent shape (see 1 Timothy 5:23). He didn’t think that caring for our physical bodies was a waste of time or a vanity. On the contrary, maintaining our physical health is an important part of maintaining our spiritual health. Paul wanted to see Timothy flourish, and in flourishing, to serve others more effectively. How would you rate yourself at taking care of your body? READ MORE


An unwelcomed guest in my Bed!!! The Herald Snake/red-lipped snake

By Sodwana Bay

Imagine getting into bed just to feel something wriggle or even bite you! I would definitely scream like a girl! Well I did scream like a girl on Christmas night 2019 when my cat decided to bring me a live Christmas present – a giant rat bit my finger, but that’s a story for another day! No this article is about our poor pups that got a seriously unwelcomed cuddle buddy in their kitchen bed! What we presume to be a baby herald snake also known as the Red lipped snake was looking for some warmth on a cold winter’s night, unfortunately it did not get the welcoming party it expected! Tom was in the bedroom and I was enjoying a nice warm shower, when all of a sudden 1 of our 4 pups – Racer started barking. Now although these pups are already huge for their age, they are still babies and are scared of everything, so they tend to bark at anything and everything that goes bump in the night! And this snake was no exception! This is the very first time these puppies have ever seen a snake and I am so grateful they rather bark at their fears then bite the thing that scares them. At first we thought Racer was barking either at his siblings or he got a fright for something… Tom and I got to the kitchen almost at the same time and at first were confused about why Racer was barking at his bed; of course the rest of the pups had already retreated to the bedroom not even taking chances with this strange creature! Sorry for the poor quality pics – We only had our cellphone cameras on hand and wanted to get this poor snake back to safety as soon as possible! The little snake was very courageous in trying to ward off the giant! It tried blowing its head up and standing up like a cobra, although a cobra has a hood and this little guy/girl did not! – Fun fact this is typical defense mechanism for them… Although they are mildly venomous they pose no threat to larger mammals only toads and frogs! – Click the link below to find more fun facts like this 1! Flicking its tongue and hissing it pretended to be a mighty snake although it was really small. It definitely worked in scaring off the enemy. We were fortunate to have been able to catch the poor snake before the Jack Russell’s got their chance to jump in. Unfortunately these small dogs were bread to hunt and bite before they think! Our little snake friend luckily calmed down real quick after a couple tries in getting it in the container to set it free! It was a little bit of a mission as it kept flicking itself out with the back of its tail every time we put it in the jug! Well I guess it’s not the easiest thing in the world catching a snake with oven gloves/mittens and trying to chuck it in a small jug that is a little shorter than the snake itself! I am just so grateful this snake was harmless and that it doesn’t appear to have bitten any of our pups… Now our puppies are super cautious going to lie on the bed. They sniff and lift everything up before lying down just to make sure there’s nothing waiting to chase them off again!
