Okay, so we've determined that end of the world as we know it is coming soon. 'Why in the world would you say such a thing?' you wonder. Well, I'll tell you ... it actually rained in Lima! No joke. We were headed to church on Sunday, walked outside, and discovered that RAIN was falling on us. Now, it wasn't a hard rain ... in fact, under normal circumstances, you would barely call it a drizzle. But, the fact that it was happening in Lima was unbelievable.
Perhaps I should explain why I'm so excited. You see, I'm a Florida girl, born and raised in hot, humid summers that brought afternoon thunderstorms everyday during the summer. One of my favorite childhood memories was sitting on the front porch watching the storms and listening to the rain. And I still LOVE the smell of rain. So, given all that, just think of what moving to one of the driest deserts in the world and not seeing rain for 7 (count them -SEVEN) months can do to a person. I was just like a little kid at Disney world when I walked outside and found it raining. (Had I stopped and thought about it, I probably would've rushed out of the rain because of the amount of pollution that I'm sure was falling on my head. But I didn't want to think about it and ruin the moment.) It was definitely a great way to start off the week (and probably one of the most exciting things of the week).
You know what's funny is that I actually prayed for rain not too long ago. Silly request? Perhaps. But look at what happened. Just goes to show my God can do anything ... even make it rain in Lima!! Too cool!!
