It's still raining, yet I will praise HIM

It's been a rough week. Two hours after my last post we got a phone call that John's mom was in the ER. She had been feeling ill for a few days but hadn't told anyone. Without going in to graphic detail, I'll just say that she needed some major surgery. It was very tough on her, she has several other health issues. She has been in ICU at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota ever since. We are so far away. We have no choice but to wait and Pray and trust that God is in control. I know He has a perfect plan, but one of the hardest things in the world for me to do is just sit back and wait. Im the one that always has to have everything figured out. Its a real weakness in me.

My heart aches. I want to go home, but I have to let John make his own decision about a trip home, even if I dont agree with him.

My song of the hour........ by Mercy Me

"Bring The Rain"

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
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark 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
So I pray

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
