RAIN

Its RAINING!!!

:)

(miss moon has been pretty lately, too, just in case you've missed seeing her...)

kinda like rain....

(I wrote this a while ago. I didn't post it because I didn't want to admit to having a hard time...its been interesting to re-read this. I'm mostly the same, I think, but I've learned a lot... I'm posting for me, mostly as a way of getting over myself...)

I've had a really rough week. There are lots of parts of my life that are up in the air right now, and I don't know how they are going to end up falling...

There are lots of parts of me that are broken right now...parts that are disappointed...parts that are sad...parts that are scared...parts that are anxious...I don't know what to do with them all and it all just becomes a big giant mess...

This is the first time that the verses from Hosea 6 have really hit me.

Come, let us return to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces;
now he will heal us.
He has injured us;
now he will bandage our wounds.
In just a short time he will restore us,
so that we may live in his presence.
Oh, that we might know the Lord!
Let us press on to know him.
He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn
or the coming of rains in early spring.”


God has taken me on quite the journey lately. Things are messed up...there really is no way around it...


God promises to somehow fix things...he says that if I press on to know him better that he'll respond just like dawn breaks the darkness and rain restores the earth...


I think that trust might mean choosing to rest on a promise.

I'm not sure I can hear God very well, but it sounds like he might be asking me if I'll choose to trust him to clean up the mess...
