Upon Returning to Knysna, the word from the Lord was "Be still, and know that I am God."  We weren't sure exactly what that looked like, and 'waiting' is very difficult.  One of the YFC board members told us we were welcome to listen to the still small voice of the Lord at her farm.

It seemed that we were being bombarded with requests to "do" things for the Lord, and after 2 weeks of unsuccessful "being still", we took up the offer and drove to "Tehillah"; a beautiful farm about 30 km from "De Rust" ("the rest" in Afrikans!).  With no TV, no radio, no cell phone, we finally could only but listen to God.  He displayed His majesty through His creation, as a troop of 29 baboons gave us daily entertainment.  We also were visited by a huge tortoise, beautiful birds, and flies (it is a working farm, so they are attracted by the goats and sheep!)

As it is VERY hot in the Karoo (dry low scrub brush desert),  the water reservoir was quite refreshing for a daily swim!  

Our time at Tehillah was quiet restful!!
