I am pretty discouraged about the church rebuilding efforts after the last cyclone. Several of the churches fell down or had disastrous problems.
There is so much flooding everywhere. I can only imagine how bad it is in the districts!
This is day 3
without power, but what a difference it makes to have a house! We are safe and
our belongings are safe. God has been with us yet again.
I have to say though, the amount of stress I have been under is catching up to me. I thought things were bad before the cyclone - they've become almost unbearable now. The stress has gone up to the point where my ribs are getting thrown out and back pain is constant.
I need rest. I need shalom peace.
God is our refuge and strength,
always ready in times of trouble.
So we will not fear when earthquakes come
and the mountains crumble into the sea.
Let the oceans roar and foam.
Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!
A river brings joy to the city of our God,
