God is Good

 Sow a head of time and trust God to bring the rain at the right time.

I love the smell of rain. I love the sound of rain. I love it when it rains.
But most of all; I love the fact that God answers our prayers.
 I watched as the kids danced in the rain as we pulled up at school from home this morning. They shouted, sang, and danced joyfully! 
Who doesn't love rain?
Day in and day out we had people every where praying for rain. The passed few months and all the way back in to last year has really been dry. Many farmers here around and across the country has been effected badly. We complained about the heat of the day and the blazing sun that comes with the clear blue skies. There has been heavy dark clouds here and there but it was all a hope in vain. As we pleaded, many times we felt the silence of God. But the Bible says there's a time for everything. And at the right time God comes through. For our ways are not His ways neither our thoughts He's thoughts. And when his blessings comes through, it stands out , that we might not miss it and not miss the fact that they are meant to point us back to Him with praises!

One of the kids said something really important  today: something that I have been thinking about for quite a while now.
Chanteline said before she came to school this morning she planted some seeds. And she was so glad that she did because now is raining."



 when I was growing up, and we would go to the farm every December holiday to help work on the field;
 my mom would say: "Come bring the small basket of seeds and let's go and sow before the rain comes."
 The first thing I would always do is look up and see if there was any sign of rain, and every time I saw that there was no a single cloud I would start to complain.
"We are wasting the seeds, mom." I would say. "There is no clouds. Which means the rain is not coming soon."
And all she would say is: "Come. Let's go while the earth is still soft. If we don't sow now, and a heavy rain comes the soil will be too hard."

And so we would go, and we would sow row by row under those clear blue sky and blazing sun. Some times sad, some times with the hope that she would be right.

Ecclesiastes 11:4 .
Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.
