Rising Rivers

Proverbs 21:1 “like a river of water, He turns it wherever He wishes.”

 Before this bridge was built a few years ago, we used to drive through this river. At the most, it had a few inches of water flowing through it, as it usually does. River Rocha is now at record high levels because of the unrelenting rains pouring down all over the country.

This is not a lake, it's the village below our village under water.

   The water has reached our village, but we are a bit higher causing the waters to flow into the next village down the road instead of into our village. If the rains continue, it won't be but a few days until our village's fields are under water also.

The water is reaching the foot of the mountains.

The road that enters our village.

The main road we take to the city.

  The rains continue day and night. We know that He is able to stop the rains and turn the waters where He wishes. For right now we are high enough to not be affected, but if the rains continue the lake will be opened and run through an irrigation ditch behind our property; that will surely flood our classrooms and possibly our house. Last year our big classroom was flooded, and we didn't have this much rain. 

   Our prayer is that the rains will stop, and the sun will shine. Many in our area are suffering, losing livestock and alfalfa. We know this will also bring infectious disease in the weeks to come. Our classes are on hold here in Rumi Rancho until the situation changes. It is possible the public schools may soon decide to suspend classes. 

                 We know the SON can make the sun shine tomorrow.
