Last year, a massive flood came and it about did me in. It was definitely the straw that broke my back, after being through so many trials, I really didn't handle the flood very well. It was horrible. I just cried alot and whined and pouted. I guess most American girls would have, but I went over board. I questioned God, which I know is wrong. But, sometimes when you are here, alone ( it feels like) and no one can relate to you, and normalcy is a million miles away..your friends and family are not there to hold you..yeah, it's hard.
Well, the flood did have a purpose. I am seeing it now. Ferd preached the message of salvation to the flood victims. Out of all the hundreds of evacuees that were stranded here at the church, only one accepted the Lord. You might think that is a horrible success rate, but in the LOrd's eyes, Sister Berna was precious enough that He was willing to do what it took to reach her. I am seeing that now. Berna was saved during the flood and has become of the greatest soul winners of the church. She is so vibrant and excited in the Lord. She encourages me and I know the flood was worth it.
Tonight she even hosted a Bible study at her house where she invited all her neighbors and even her husband ( who is very judgmental of her) came. I am glad the flood happend...
