Bring the Rain

We had planed on making a big announcement. You know the kind you make from the Mountain Top. One that for us is filled with Joy. That announcement will have to wait for another day.

Sunday morning I woke up to contractions. For any mother who has gone through labor they were good stage two contraction. There were some other signs that things were not right. As I laid down the contractions eased. At this time some hope had remained. Because when I moved the contractions worsened we chose to say home as the drive to the nearest medical care is an half hour away. Even though laying down and still did help to ease the contractions it did not have the desired effect.

As I lay there listening to music, praying and hoping the song "Bring the Rain" by Mercy Me came up. These words spoke to my heart as if it were God speaking to me.

Chorus:
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

As I listened to these words I told my little blessing good by and handed him over into the hands of my ABBA. Five hours after I woke up that morning our tiny blessing went to the arms of our King. I praise Him for the short time this tiny little blessing was here.

ABBA, my Dearest Father what ever rain you allow to come into my life I accept it. I do not know why this tiny blessing was here for such a short time. What I do know is that you are here now holding me, crying with me, and feeling my grief with me. How wonderful it is to have a father like you who is there with us in the midst of this fallen world.
