I think I wrote about this before... but when P and I came in country together, I got an article from TB about the topic of "home". Home is where you are... talking about family. P and I would say that to each other. I now am saying this to A as we are going to leave the friends' house we are in now to go to another friends' house. Hopefully this will be the last one until I figure out what the Lord wants us to do.
This is how the situation stands... we have a river behind our house that splits our neighborhood from the one behind us. One of the houses from the other neighborhood fell into the river making a dam. So when it rains hard, which is almost everyday now that it is rainy season, the water piles up at that spot... so when the first flood, Friday, happened, the water had no where to go so it went into a house about five houses up from ours and came out the front, taking along all the furniture... making the river then come down our street. I'm the last house on the street, but thankfully, my yard is lower than my house, so most of the water went into my yard... but then it also knocked down the wall that was standing next to my house (100 feet wide, ~15 feet tall). Praise God it fell the opposite direction of my house.
People have been working on the house, but the sad thing is as some men friends have been talking to neighborhood leaders, this process of fixing the house that fell and making alternate routes for the water to go and fixing the wall will take up to 3 to 6 weeks. But on top of that, of course we want the house to be flood free for at least 2 weeks before we say it's totally safe to get back in.
With all the construction that will be going on, meaning more people around, mostly men and that it's going to take that long, I am in process of praying...
I'm not sure under all the situations above what the wisest decision would be. I sense the Lord giving me Psalm 46:10 for right now... so therefore, I am doing exactly what I am sensing... But praying for quick revelation about what He would want us to do.
Please pray for this crazy process... for A and me, emotionally and physically, it's taking a lot out of me to process the situation and also come up with a plan. Please pray for JM as she is headed back tomorrow. We had a great time, despite the flooding. Please pray for my heart to be ready to hear God's voice and be quick to obey what He desires of me. There are actually so many prayer requests in situations like this, so whatever the Lord lays on your heart, please pray for that.
