Bring The Rain

The last few days I've felt a bit of a break down coming on. It's been 6 months now, and I dislike it now more so than before...which I didn't think would ever be possible. After bawling like a freaking baby for awhile, my migraine from earlier in the day was back full force. (Thank goodness for Excedrin. Whew!) We're surviving. Barely.

Anyway, this smart lady I talked to today told me that you don't have to keep yourself pulled together all the time. That got the waterworks started for sure. She told me that's what God is there for. 


I know this...well, I thought I did. But today, I got way too overwhelmed with it all. 


This song came on the radio. I turned it up pretty loud (which didn't exactly help the migraine. Fail.), and then tracked it down on YouTube. I've listened to it about 20 times. 


I feel better after having bawled for awhile. Cleansed, somehow. If crying didn't make me so darned puffy and red I'd probably let it happen more often. 







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

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
