Sodwana Bay Traffic @ Sibaya – Sodwana Bay

By Sodwana Bay

For those of you that are wondering if there is a lot of traffic in Sodwana Bay. The answer is NO!!!! OK, except the peak season, the main town – Mbazwana and maybe at the beach gate can get a bit congested. Outside of that the only traffic you will be getting is your local rural animals. We have goats, chickens and most probably the biggest farm animal available in Sodwana is the Nguni Cattle! The Nguni’s are indigenous to Southern Africa . They are a medium sized cow breed that have been bread between american cows and later on European cows and eventually mixing with South African breads that we now call the Nguni cows. Honestly in my opinion these are one of the most beautiful cow breeds I have ever seen. They are great for milking, slaughtering for meat and overall just mowing your lawn for you. They are actually a great help keeping the tall grass at bay. They have a diversity of colors: some are completely black, some look like the milking cows (black and white), we have even seen the cutest little brown and white calf that looks almost like our little Jack Russel. Some of them can look like the Brahman cow, the white – grayish speckled kind. If you do happen to encounter a herd on the road from a safe short distance start litely hooting in short bursts usually this signals them to move. Try not to startle them to much otherwise you might have a stampede on your hands.

Going Old School @ Sibaya – Sodwana Bay

By Sodwana Bay

Living off grid is amazing, especially when living out in the middle of nowhere. You never have to worry about paying electrical or water bills but you do have to settle for less luxuries. Also you learn to be more self reliant, as it is not always possible to go to the grocery store every time you forget something. I have been doing that a lot lately. Another thing we needed to get use to is our hot water system. I know what you thinking, how hard can hot water be to get in the house, why would we need to get use to that? Well our hot water system is a little different to what we city dwellers are use too! Well our house is a little different… We use a “Donkey” – our water heating system uses fire, yes you read right fire! Most people might not know this but before electrical and gas geysers were invented our ancestors used a type of chimney or drum water heating system. Basically its a little chimney attached to your house and hot water pipes like a fireplace to heat up your water. So, instead of waiting for your geyser to warm up you have to go make a fire outside and wait for it to warm your pipes and bob’s your uncle you have a nice warm shower. The first couple of days we were here was a nightmare, the water was freezing cause we couldn’t figure out how the hot water system worked around here. All we knew was we didn’t have a geyser. But that experience at the end of the day gave us so much more appreciation for the hot water that we can enjoy now. Don’t get me wrong we LOVE this new experience!

Live this new Life! ~ 1 Peter 1:24 MSG

By Sodwana Bay

Sodwana Bay Information www.sodwanabayinformation.co.za Now that you’ve cleaned up your lives by following the truth, love one another as if your lives depended on it. Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God’s living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself! That’s why the prophet said, The old life is a grass life, its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers; Grass dries up, flowers droop, God’s Word goes on and on forever. This is the Word that conceived the new life in you. 1 Peter 1:24 MSG

How do I know?

By Sodwana Bay

How the Heck Do We Know? . . . show me a sign that it is you who speak with me—Judges 6:17 “That was God . . .” “I felt God nudging me . . .” “I got the sense that God wants me to . . .” We hear words like these. Sometimes we say them ourselves. But, how do we know it’s God? Well, rarely can we ever know conclusively; there’s mystery with God. There are times when we intuitively just know, down deep somewhere. And, often, this “just knowing” is enough. Other times, though, things are less clear and we must ask: Was that you, God? Or was that just me? In those situations, we need to be able to recognize his voice—to identify it. Fortunately, his voice is unique—whether it comes through his still, small voice or through the words of others. It’s something we can come to recognize. So, what we need to learn is to identify the unique characteristics. We do that by reading Scripture. Fortunately, not all methods of hearing God are equal. Scripture, the method by which we hear his voice indirectly through the Biblical authors, sits above all others in importance and authority. As such, we have something against which we can run tests. On a practical level, therefore, when we try to hear God by any other method, we simply need ask ourselves whether what we think we’ve heard fits within the principles set forth in Scripture. Indeed, that’s exactly what we are listening for when we listen for his voice—thoughts and words that fit within the principles of the Bible—not thoughts, nor words, by contrast, that contradict or add to Scripture. Okay, so what do we do? Are you spending enough time reading Scripture, brother? Do you have a reading plan? If not, get one going, today. Do it with friends. For if you come to know him in Scripture, you’ll begin to identify God’s voice in other places too.
