A new month! Still no rain! The clouds build up every day but the rain doesn’t come. Crazy how we can go from a week with high rain falls of 62mm to nothing – absolutely nothing! Tests my faith so much. Our drums and tanks all running dry again and we got no other working source of water at the moment. The ram pump from the spring is almost ready, but unfortunately almost doesn’t fill the tanks up! Have to keep trusting our King to provide. I found myself starting to get down and the feeling of “Can I really do this?” but read verses on joy and how the joy of the Lord is my strength and to be joyful in all things – even when we got no water I need to get my inner joy from the Lord. So much easier said than done – but it is a good exercise to exercise daily! Can I be joyful when we are in desperate times for water?? I am trying!
Having Perdo and Holmes is such a breath of fresh air at times like this. They are so sweet and joyful and just so happy to see me all the time. Pedro decided this morning that my leg was his chewing toy! He soon realized that it wasn’t when I jumped up. Poor things we had to take them to the vet yesterday for their 3 month rabies injection, the closest vet being in Nyanga which is a good hour drive away from us. Let’s just say that they are not used to being in a vehicle and ended up vomiting all over the place – car sickness!! They were very relieved to be back at home and on ground that stood still.
The clouds have built up again today – Lord please open the heavens!
