Yes, I realize it's only Monday. But, I haven't been able to post a Thankful Thursday for awhile now, and it's my blog so I can write whatever I want to write whenever I want to write it. :)
One of my favorite songs (the one you should hear playing right now) says, "...and I know there'll be days when this world brings me pain, but if that's what it takes to praise You, Jesus bring the rain."
Today I'm thankful for rain. I'm thankful for the scent of rain, and for the nose that I'm able to smell with. I'm thankful for the coolness that rain brings, and the relaxing atmosphere that comes along with it.
I'm thankful for spiritual rain, too.
Most of you are aware that I've been putting up a tough fight against post partum depression. While my cuckoo medicine has helped me tremendously, my awesome husband has helped me even more, and my Heavenly Father is at work, delivering me from the daily battles I face! What an incredible God we serve!!!
We're between pastors at church right now, and it's been a little more difficult for me stay encouraged this time around. I've heard a lot of disagreeing and complaining and griping and whining and bickering. But God is in the midst of everything, and He has the PERFECT plan for us.
There is a pressing issue that is extremely heavy on my heart right now that I'm not able to discuss at this time...but it's very real and very burdensome, and yet my hands are tied; but praise the Lord because His hands are hard at work!!!
"...if that's what it takes to praise You, Jesus bring the rain!"
