from this dry land
to this productive land
It was a miracle when we were given the water in the form of artesian well on our dry and unused land . It is a miracle to see that the dry land is now a paddy field. Yes , God’s blessings are miracle and when He wants it to happen it will happen and when it is happen it will be beautifully happening and good. If you can remember my previous posting you will be agree with me that His blessings are so miraculously to the orphanage and especially to me. I was having a huge burden every time I was thinking about how the orphanage will be in 10 years time when I am retired from my job ( no salary and no saving ) and how can we provide food for the orphanage’s children ? a huge burden with a huge uncertainties in our mind . Miraculously God has liberated me from all of the burden by providing me ” line and rod” to fish in the form of the artesian water source, Praise The Lord. now with His water source we can make the impossible become possible , from the dry land into the productive and fertile land . From the worry of starvation that we are going to have in 10 years time to the joy that we are currently having as the harvest is great. Yet this is another proof of God’s providence to us.
Beside rice we are having some “Kang kung” or water spinach too . We are also planning to have a plot of land to be a fish pond too in the future . We are thinking of having cat fish and some eel which are strong to any conditions. I am new to all of this , so any of you who might be an expert on fish matter please let share with me your valuable knowledge about it.

Things are now depending to how good you want it to be. If you are wanting a good harvest it means you have to work hard and diligently. For us it is rather easier now as at the main farm we are having a constant water supply so we can plant any plantation at any time according what we need but for our other land ( which are still depending on the rain fall) we can only plant it once a year and only a particular of its kind. There are type of rice choices for us to plant. If you are having plentiful of water( like our main farm) , you may plant the delicious and fragrant rice at the same time but if the water is short , we can only plant the type of rice which only suitable according to the duration of the water’s availability( the duration of the rainy season is short in this area) . It can be shorter period but the type can not be that good ( shorter trees and less quantity on it’s harvest).
