So Ryan tells us Monsoon season ended a few weeks ago. This means the torrential downpours and gale force winds are long gone for this year here in India. Right....
This morning we awoke to the sounds of rolling thunder; an ominous harbinger of things to come. We had to leave Tipperary extra early this morning to begin the 2 days of prayer and fasting we are participating in with EMI, and we were lucky enough to do so right as an incredible jungle/mountian/supernatural rainstorm/hailstorm attacked the side of the mountain we had to ascend.
Imagine what Noah must have seen in the first twenty minutes of the flood. I found myself wondering if 40 straight days of such rain would actually end up completely immersing the mountian. I would give it 50/50 odds.
Long story short, by the time we reached Oaklands 20 minutes later, all of us were soaked to the skin and shivering. The first three hours of prayer, fasting, and worship were spent tightly gripping our sides as we tried to keep our teeth from chattering. Thankfully, the sun came out mid-morning, and we were able to enjoy a wonderful time of prayer and fasting in the sunshine where we were able to dry out and finally warm ourselves.
I sure am glad Monsoon is over...
