God must not be done with us...

After eating a lot of rice and top ramen all week we decided it was time to go on a little fishing expedition to see if we couldn't catch us something better to eat. We, along with Lazarus, Agus, and Nirmala fished the ocean and the pond/river nearby and then slept out on the beach under the stars. We didn't catch much, but it was an amazing expedition nonetheless.

First, we tried our hand at fishing the ocean. The boys propelled this log into the water for us to use as a boat out to the coral rocks where we fished from.
As you can see, the ocean was a little rough that day, which made things very interesting, and not very fruitful in the way of fishing.

The little black dots on the right are our heads as we were swimming out to the coral rocks. I will not include the story on my blog, because I don't want to hear the scolding, but I will say that I had an experience with the waves and the coral that would lead me to believe that God is not done with me yet.

Nirmala, Agus, Lazarus, me, and Joerg. We had a great time that night exchanging stories...funny ones, serious ones, testimonies, etc. It was a great night around the campfire.

And I have never in my life seen a sunset like there was that night. God is a brilliant artist. Could you have made anything this surreal?

I titled this post, God must not be done with us, partly because of a few frightening moments I had in the ocean, but also because we later found out that the pond we were fishing in had crocodiles. Papua is full of all sorts of those kinds of surprises, but oh well...God must not be done with us yet.
