…and it RAINED and RAINED

Today Danny and I went to different churches to give support in two places. It started raining and since I had the car I had to go get Danny because he had ridden a boda to church. He called at 1:30 and my service was not over…his was…so I decided I should leave and go get him because we would probably be another 30 minutes …and it would take 30 minutes to get to where he was. My church would probably even go longer than 30 more minutes because it was raining and they really would not want to leave church in the rain. So I slipped out and took different road home so as not to pass the church window and cause a distraction. I travel the Buziga area often but not in this direction. And the very narrow roads were gushing with caverns of red mud and water and I just did not know where my tires were going and there was really no way to turn around. My heart was beating fast and I kept thinking around the next bend would be better. Well, it wasn't. I came to two very narrow road spots and the road was slanting on my side and the ditch was deep and filled with water gushing and I had no choice but to ease along with great prayer that my tires would stay on the little bit of roadway I had. I was fearful….and even if I called Danny he would have no idea where to come to…in the rain…on a boda. I came upon a car in a deep ditch with about 10 men trying to get where they could lift it out…and yet they showed me a way…a scary way…that they assured me I could use to go around them. And thankfully I was able. I finally stopped and decided to go up to a house and see if they could tell me where the main road was and if the road I was on was passable in front of me…all I could see was water. I got out and stepped in water above ankles, flip flop stuck in mud….I took my foot out and instantly it began to float quickly down stream. A 5 year old child happened to be out in the road and she ran and fetched it for me. And then I looked back and a car was approaching me so I precariously walked in mud to him to find out if he had travelled this road today. He said, "Yes, that I could make it." And so off I went. Thank you, Father, that the main road was only about 100 yards further around the bend. So off I am to pick up Danny. We mentioned at lunch that we have been so blessed by the Father to not have experienced a tragedy with the roads, traffic and congestion here. God has heard and answered prayers.
