Let it Rain

This week will probably not go on record as the best week that Scott and I have ever had. It started with the phone call we got Sunday that his grandmother passed. Then yesterday morning - Scott realized his car was dead. So last night we got one problem fixed and this morning - there was another issue with his car. And we have a window in our house that leaks when it rains and it had been fixed but this morning - there it was leaking again. And then today my mom let me know that my grandfather, who recently found out he has leukemia, is not doing well.

One thing I constantly say to Scott as we hear of other people's misfortunes is "why not us?" Why do we seem to have it so good? And even though this has been a tough week and doesn't seem to be getting any better - in the grand scheme of things we are still so blessed and I have to just keep thanking God for all that He has done for us. I think because it is a dark, rainy Friday - I just keep singing this Mercy Me song in my head and it pretty much sums up my feelings. Especially these two verses.

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

LET IT RAIN
