The inspiration for my new blog is the song from MercyMe titled “Bring the Rain”.
In the last year, my life has taken many twists and turns… and the future threatens to hold much of the same. I’m challenged and surprised by the lessons I’m learning along the path. These experiences, heart-wrenching at times, are the reason for this blog. To express them and share with you (my friends, family and the world) what God is showing me. Not always the yummy goodness that we all love to share but also the struggle that sometimes tears at our hearts and makes us ask “why, Lord?” My hope is that my journey, my story, will touch your heart and life and encourage you to tell yours.
“Bring The Rain”
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 prayBring 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 dark 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
