.let it rain.

Good afternoon everyone!.. It took me quite a while to set this thing up last night, with Vanessa's help, but it's finally done.. Today will be the first day that our new youth pastor, Tom, and his wife will be joining us for everfree.. We are all super excited that they are coming along with their two children, and are blessed to have them come and minister to our students.. It isn't a super beautiful day today, but still a God given day nonetheless.. It looks like it is going to be this way all week.. As I was driving to church yesterday morning a song came to mind, Let It Rain, and I have been thinking about it ever since.. Of course, it was a part of our worship yesterday, and it was the first song I heard on the radio this morning when I got into my car..

OPEN THE FLOODGATES OF HEAVEN. LET IT RAIN, LET IT RAIN.

This song by Michael W. Smith is different than the one that we use during worship, and as I was listening to it there was a verse that really spoke to my heart: The Lord REIGNS, let the earth be glad...Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. A fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side...The earth sees and trembles...The Heavens proclaim his righteousness and all peoples will see His glory. What a consuming God we serve, how often we try and love Him while only letting Him into certain parts of our lives.. He can only come through this door, and He can only walk around in this room, but we need to let Him consume every bit of us, even the places we are scared for Him to go.. We need to realize that as God rains on us, He reigns over us.. Our lives are whole only when completely in His hands.. Blessings..
