3 days of nonstop pouring rain. Ponds, lakes and rivers overflow beyond all measure. Here in the lovely Midwest city of Chicago, it has been raining consistently without ceasing for a solid three and a half days. It wasn’t a storm or a hurricane, but it was like a Scottish or Irish rain. It was constant falling water without the howling winds. I’m not sure if 3 days of rain compares to the 40 days and nights that Noah sat in the boat, but I think that as he stepped out on the deck and took a deep breath, he began to praise God. At this time and moment, I stepped outside of Panera and took a deep breath and felt a sense of peace and refreshment. The cool clean air that filled my lungs gave me a sense of revival and made me think, “I too want to praise God for the rough transitions that I have been going through.” At times there was a hint of worry of where and when God will lead me. At this time and moment I feel peace and refreshment. I sign my lease for my new home tomorrow, I finished the overwhelming work load I had the past 3 weeks, and now I have found a place to worship freely without any stress or pressures of having to lead, direct, or “work”. I stepped outside not too long ago to see that the rain has indeed stopped, and took a deep breath and felt truly at peace. I feel many people over stress about what they are going to do in their life, that everything in this world is out to drag them down deeper into the dark depths of the sea. I found that if you continue trusting in Him then in His time things will seem all the more blessed. Breathe a breth of fresh air everyone. |
