We are currently in dry season, which is suppose to go from November through April. Usually the rainfall from hurricane season is usually enough to sustain the country until the rain comes again, that would only be natural, right? Well it must not work that way here, especially not this year, go figure. We had a super dry hurricane season and therefore have been water rationing since February. Coming back from spring break we were told that we might not have running water for 20 days. 20 days?! Are you kidding me, that’s a long time.
One of the memories that I will not forget from teaching here this year is the look on my students faces a couple of weeks ago when it started raining. It was like a kid on Christmas morning, it was so great! They started cheering and ran to the window to watch. Even though it only rained for a couple minutes that day, that was enough for them. Not only did it rain for a couple of minutes that day we have had daily thunderstorms this entire week. It has been beautiful. Maybe rainy season has come early this year? Maybe God knew exactly what we needed?
“And my God will meet ALL your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” Phil. 4: 19
water is such a precious resource – we take it for granted here in nebraska with the largest aquifer underneath us … hope things are going well, Steph. Good to see you at Easter …. be safe Love, Suzy
