a monday stuck in the mud.

Monday

So I don't know if I have mentioned this yet but it is rainy season here in Mombasa, Kenya...so being the rainy season it rained all night and all today. BUT that was not stopping us. We still had a busy day to complete and needed to get many things done. So we left around 9 this morning and we were going to pick up Alfred from his house. There we were going to pick up the grass for Mtepani and then head out to the village of Mtepani and the school but the Lord had a different plan for us today. We arrived in Alfred's village or I don't know what you would call it, I guess it would be like a neighborhood but we wouldn't exactly call this a neighborhood. I mean it is hard to describe exactly what I see and then what you might interpret it looking like because you probably are way off. Maybe one day you will get to see it firsthand but anyways let me move on with the story. So, keep in mind that it is raining and it gets very muddy! Well that is exactly what happened...we thought we could make this hill will four wheel drive, we had done it so many times before but because of the constant rain, we sunk. The car did not budge.

We just thank the Lord that three hours later we got out safely. So we did not make it out to the village. Lisa and I came home and Chris went and dropped the grass off at Mtepani. I read quite a lot and prepared my devotion for the talk tomorrow with the boys school.

It was a different turn out of the day then expected but we again thank the Lord we made it home safely and we still have a car that drives.

I read Genesis 41:41-57 this morning and it is about Joseph and the seven years of famine that he had after the seven years of having prosperous crops. It just showed me once again that through the Lord all things are possible and when you give everything to the Lord and seek the Lord wholeheartedly, He will multiply your blessings. The Lord is always with us, anywhere we go, call on the Lord and put your trust in Him.

"Seek the Lord first..."

With Love,
