Bring on the cold!!

Since we arrived here in January we've been told that the rainy season end in September and then it's the beginning of the dry season and cooler weather. Needless to say that when the heat and humidity of the hot season began in April and then the humidity stayed through the rainy season of August, we were really looking forward to the start of the dry season and cooler temps.

But no one told us about October. October is hot, humid and just plain miserable. It's exactly like April and May. Only I wasn't prepared for October because everyone said the rain ends and then it's cold. Now mind you cold here means like 70 degrees, but compared to 100 degrees that's frigid! But no one told me about October! So I've been praying for the weather to change, trying to be patient and complaining to my hubby about the heat.

Last night after the women's study we started for our team, we were standing outside talking about how there should be one last rain and then the cooler temps. We were saying "Wouldn't it be nice if it would just get here, just rain and then be cool?". As I drove home, it started sprinkling. Within 10 minutes there was lightning, thunder, wind and lots of rain.

Sometimes I forget how fast God answers prayer. I get lost in the waiting and forget to praise him when He is quick (in my mind) to respond to what I ask of Him. So I just wanted to take the time to thank Him today for the rain, for the cooler, cloudy, windy day today and for always answering my prayers.
