Bring the Rain:





The last couple of weeks have been very dificult. We have found out that my mother has a serious heart condition. My father is being tested for a possible reoccurance of cancer--and the night before last, Buck went to the hospital with chest pains... I was feeling pretty overwhelmed. As I watched the ambulance drive away with Buck I turned to walk back into the house and I cryed out to God! "WHERE ARE YOU??" I got someone to come watch the kids--and at 3:00 A.M. I got into Buck's truck and drove to the hospital. I was praying out loud as I drove, and finally I turned up the radio--Buck had a Mercy Me CD in, and appropriatly enough the song "Bring the Rain" was playing. As the lyrics played it hit me. What I am going through is hard--but not harder than what Jesus went through on the cross... and no matter what happens we have salvation, but biggger than that we have God--He is our shelter from the storm. Here I am faced with a chance to either hang on to my faith or turn my back on God. Of Course I choose to rest in his arms--that's part of Jesus's gift---PEACE, peace through the storm. Buck is home now and it looks like we just had a little scare. He is going to be ok. Praise God. I will continue to pray for healing for my parents--but through it all--I will draw closer to him.




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

MERCY ME
