It just doesn’t seem to stop. I’m new to this season of constant rain. I’m not a huge fan of the rain. I guess more like not a fan of the gloomy overcast days. Well its not like I can day anything about it. It is, what it is. I thought Waterstone was sold out or something this morning. The cars were endless. Everyone was trying to get in, and everyone was trying to get out. Not the greatest combination when you want to get somewhere on time. The rain added to the madness, or could be blamed for the madness. So I started pondering on “rain” this morning. It is so necessary yet it carries so many other things with it that can be annoying. Some get more “rain” than others. While it seems some never get it. Our land and lawns need rain. Animals need rain, we need rain. Yet when it shows up it complicates things a little. It makes our streets slippery and dangerous, it prolongs our commutes by double maybe even triple the time, it can flood, it can destroy, it will soak you, alter your vision, but it also sets the mood for the greatest naps, movie nights, soothing sounds, and a great portrait. It also makes our palm trees taller, the grass is greener, and it filters our air a little. Doesn’t it seem God allows “rain” in our lives. Some of us get alot of it at one time, some never do, some people are always soaked. Its in season of rain that our patience is tested, our perseverance is tested, our wisdom and integrity(traffic) is tested. Our faith is tested!!! I’ve been in the rain for a while now, I have gone from “GOD! stop this! It makes no sense! Whats the point? Am I the only one? …to Lord, may your will be done, its out of my hands. Let it rain all night long if it has to. My Wife shared some awesome words with me last night, and I hope it encourages you. I’m being totally transparent with you guys as I share this. I told her, “I wonder if God will ever heal my ear?” She replied saying stop asking him to take anything away, but ask and wait patiently How will God use this to impact the world.” Rain= growth…Let it rain!!!!
