I recently read “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps” as I was reading through Proverbs on my way through the Bible. I think God is especially teaching us that He is in control and that His timing and His plans are best. I’ve written several times about our well project – about how excited we were when God provided over $20,000 in the space of a few months. We figured clean water was right around the corner.
Then, after plans with two drillers fell through, we realized that God’s timing and His plan was not ours. We ran out of time in the spring of 2012 to drill before rainy season. We got in touch with another driller and looked forward to winter of 2012 when they committed to drill our well. The final date was set for January.
At the last minute, January re-scheduled to February. Now, the February date has been cancelled, and we haven’t gotten word yet about March.
Please pray with us for God’s timing. We’re completely and totally dependent on God, for the right drillers at the right time and for there to be water within drilling depth in our area. Please pray for us, also, for peace and patience as we wait, that we might model godly testimonies before the Nahuatl who watch our every move.
