Jesus, Bring the Rain!

I mentioned in my first post, how I was save by the blood of Christ.  And let me tell you that was hands down the greatest and most momentum day in my life.  Nothing else will ever compare, nothing else will ever impact me as much as that did, nothing else will define me more, and my heart has forever been changed.


God spoke to me today at church, simply through a song that we have sung dozens of times before.


I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise YOU with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly 
Change who I forever am in YOU


Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on YOU, oh LORD
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray


Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings YOU glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise YOU
Jesus, bring the rain


I am YOURS regardless of
The clouds that may loom above
Because YOU are much greater than my pain
YOU who made a way for me
By suffering YOUR destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray


Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the LORD God Almighty

This past year of my life has been full of some rain, heck at times I thought I was in a full blown hurricane or something of the sort.  I lost my job, I had my heart broken, I dealt with a mystery illness (eczema took over my life) that lead to numerous doctors' appointments and the realization that my life was forever going to be changed by it.  It rained, it poured, it rained some more.

...but through all of that, I hope I was able to give GOD glory.


I was reminded today about how we will always encounter storms, but God has a rainbow at the end.  A rainbow with the promise of peace and better days...
