Building an Ark?


Not an ark (yet), but we are building a wall––not to keep people out but rather to reroute rainwater from flooding our classrooms. After many hot and dry days, the rains finally started but with a torrential rain that brought with it flooding. The irrigation ditch behind our property overflowed and flooded our classrooms last Saturday.

Cleanup is underway as I write. Thanking God for help from neighbors and church people who came to help. Last year, we experienced a similar flooding but thought it was a one time calamity. Now, it's evident that when the city workers came through the valley cementing the irrigation ditch they somehow rerouted the rain waters.

We're thankful it didn't flood our house. It seems prudent to build a wall on the back of our property to prevent any future flooding and damage to our buildings. We've dug ditches to reroute the rain waters and flooding that may occur before the wall is up.

We have a lot of work in the next few weeks but nothing will deter us from preparing for the Kids' Christmas and mountain trip. Pray with us for strength as we minister this Christmas season. We know God answers prayer.

We have an eternal Ark. Safe in Jesus no matter what floods our lives, Jesus keeps us safe from the waters that might drown us in the world's problems.
