Rain in the Dry season?!?

Here we are smack in the middle of the dry season, yet rain and thunder started rolling in as the sun set. And now 3 hours later, we are still in the middle of a down pour. At first I was puzzled by this rain that started steadily falling as I was walking home with a bag full of groceries, but then I remembered this is Guatemala. Nothing is certain here. There is little point to making plans because they are bound to change at least 20 times before they are actually carried out. Its better to just go with a loose guideline and see where the day takes you. Now it has been a difficult lesson, for this American girl, that I have been learning time and time again since I arrived here in Guatemala. For instance, this morning Sabrina and I planned to go to the preschool in Camanchaj. We woke up at a certain time, walked to where the car was parked, opened the gate and discovered- no car! Another Salud y Paz member had already taken it to another location. It was a simple miscommunication, but by that time it was too late to catch the chicken bus or a ride with any one else. We were frustrated and had no choice except to remain in Pana for the day. Nothing is certain here, we truly must live by faith and not by sight. I think that me being less in control of what happens daily, is teaching me that God is the one in control and living without an agenda or schedule is giving Him more space to move in my life and me the clarity to realize what He is doing. A beautiful thing.
However in all this rain lets hope the roof of our casita doesn't leak too much. The landlord wasn't prepared for rain in the dry season.
Salud y Paz :)
