Blessed With Rain In Mexico

You know, life would be so much simpler if people would trust God and His far superior plan. I think those of us who went to Mexico really experienced that...with all the crazy things that happened during our week and a few days there,God really did meet our needs. I don't think I heard anyone say "I am so worried about such and such or so and so or something something" the whole time there. It's possible anyone could have been thinking it..but that is beyond my point... We all kinda sorta set back and let God do His work. Like at the end of Thursdays work with the Pole Crew,we thought that there would be no way of finishing up the rest of the poles because the ground was so hard. Later that night as we are playing Mafia in the Commons,here comes this massive torrential down pour of rain that lasted for twenty minutes or so with lightening and thunder which turned off the power for several minutes only to return to normal. The next day we put the auger in the ground and it made the hole pretty easily...so we do the next one,and the next one and the next one until we were done with holes for the fence.(Then we had a quest for concrete,its a very long and some what lengthy ordeal so I will not go into it,I'll just tell you we got what needed for it). Holes plus gravel plus pole plus concrete equaled the completion of the basic structure of our fence. Then we all kinda marveled at what had happened. Here is the miraculous thing about the rain we got,in Mexico it isn't supposed to be the rainy time,its supposed to be very dry and hot. It rained almost every other day from a small portion,to enough to make a few puddles. Each time we got rain,it helped soften the ground we were working with.
Dios de veras bendiga nosotras
(forgive the Spanish if you know how to read it and it is incorrect..it is supposed to say" God really blessed us")
