Today I got to spend the entire day with a Maasai Tribesman named Peter. He escorted me to my room the night before because Hippos are known to attack in the area. He wares the traditional garb and carries a spear.
Peter starting telling me about being one of the few followers of Christ in his famous tribe. His parents and family rejected him for several months. He had an assurance about his faith that was staggering and a humility that was Christ-like.
This trip has given me perspective. God is becoming larger as parts of me are becoming smaller. God is at work in this world....from the trendy people who hangout at Starbucks to the Maasai tribesman in Africa. I am ashamed for making God so small in my mind and I thank Him for the reminder this past week of how Big He truly is.
God is Good,
nate
ps...I had an eagle attack me and take my chicken leg out of my hand while standing by a river watching hippos.
