Day Six - Today was all about the rain!! This morning at Ladies Bible Study when we asked for prayer requests the ladies asked that we pray for rain. The drought here has been very bad...the river is very low and they are struggling to keep their animals alive. So we prayed....fervently...for God to send rain! Just this week someone challenged me by asking “When you pray are you more surprised when God answers your prayers or when He doesn't?” So today, as we prayed, I decided to be a person that is more surprised if God DOESNT answer my prayers! We said goodbye to the ladies and went about our daily duties. As we finished up lunch I noticed some clouds starting to form...and then the rain started to fall. And it didn't just rain - it POURED!!!!! For three hours it down poured, so much so that we began to worry about what we would do for VBS...we had been meeting under a tree because the 240 kids wouldn't fit in the church. BUT guess what...20 minutes before we were supposed to start...the rain STOPPED!! Yep that's right....for the 2 hours of VBS the rain stopped and the ground dried up! We played and laughed with the kids and then just as we were leaving, the raindrops started again! :) What an awesome God we serve!!! I can't wait to go to Bible Study in the morning and see the ladies faces knowing that God was faithful to answer our prayers!!! There will be some SERIOUS praise and worship going on tomorrow!! AMEN! |
