GOD IS STILL ON HIS THRONE

I don't know about anyone else but I am ready for a church service. Which reminds me that I need to find a SS teacher for Sunday morning. Just texted someone so we will wait on that one....but after VBS and I was wanting a service Sunday evening but everyone was wore out. So I am excited. WHY???? for a few things???
When Mariano was in the states, hardly ever got sick and although he might kill me but he hardly ever got diarrhea. Like diarrhea as in pure, pure liquid diarrhea. Not to be disgusting!!! But since he has been gone he has gotten several times and bathrooms are hard to find when you are away from home. Quite common to find someone sitting beside of the road and if there is a public bathroom then usually you have to pay. So it has been difficult with Mariano and although I do feel for him, I do laugh on the phone because it is hilarious. But yesterday he said that he felt weak, had diarrhea and was freezing. This morning he was to go to town to get his birth certificate and a copy of Chapito's. He left early because you have to stand in line and it is first come first serve. You feel out a form, show ID and come back that evening and pick it up because they have to type the information on the form. The old typewriters....nothing electronically. Thank God for the USA. So Mariano gets up and stands in line, has to leave the line because he has to go to the bathroom. He didn't eat or drink anything during the night because he didn't want to have to go hunt a bathroom. So back in line, waits a few minutes, has to leave again and he keeps loosing his spot. Back in line for a 3rd time and he said something goes wrong in the office and they turn people away!!! He said that if he had stayed where he was at then he would have gotten seen. He just has bad luck since he has been over there. I did laugh but he informed me that it was not funny!!! So his brother in law can't watch the store tomorrow during lunch time so Mariano said that he might be able to get it in the morning and come back in the evening. Just has to wait and see.
So Mariano and I have just been going through a dark tunnel since we last saw each other. Kind of been depressed and have both felt that God wasn't around although we knew that he was. However, I got blessed with a song that some of us girls learnt last night. I thought it would be an easy song, however I think we tried singing it in every key before we found one that worked!!! But finally we got one, I think it would mean more to Mariano if he actually heard the song. But I was encouraged by the song He will Carry me. Because I'm tired of walking this trial!!! So Mariano has been down because he hasn't felt like God had talked to him and what not. Mariano said that his prayers seem to never get answered and just being discouraged. Yesterday he is going home and it is raining. He didn't have an umbrella and didn't want to walk in the mud going up the mountain to home. So on the bus ride he starts praying that the Lord would stop the rain. He said it just kept raining and they stopped at his bus stop, he got out, and the rain stopped. It didn't rain again that day!!! Mariano said he just started crying up the mountain and he got home and his Dad asked what was the matter. So Mariano got to witness to his Dad. Mariano called me this morning telling me all this and to let me know that God was still on his throne. God knows what we need and when we need it.
I guess I know that a church service is coming but Mariano is by himself and that would get lonely spiritually but I am so thankful that he is encouraged!!! He is still sick and went home to lay down but God has answered prayer because I have been praying that God would speak to Mariano! Thank you God!!!!
