the rain
The rain spatters down outside my window, bouncing from little pools on the ground. Why does it have to rain? "Perspective-- there is a reason for the rain." Is the rain more an echo of my thoughts rather than my physical state of being?Decisions. They never stop, they just keep on coming! Why is it that some seem so difficult? Life changing decisions that will turn the course of my life in one way or another. In some ways, I just want to say "alright- last one. After this I'm taking a break from any mental stress." But that's not my portion. Just when I think I've prayed and heard God on one issue, another one arises.
The rain falling seems to echo the issues that have arisen recently. Thoughts capture my mind; trying to sort it all out and impart wisdom where I'm able. Walking out my life in a Godly manner is what I'm called to do, and that I want to impart to others. Leaders are pace-setters-- not following at the back of the crowd, but plowing their way through the brush and muck to get to the other side where truth lies.
I want to be that pace-setter, whether or not the rain keeps coming. I'll keep treading through the muck and mire to get to the other side with an army with me. The decisions we face in this life are worth facing- what Christ did on the cross is reason enough for me to push myself through any challenges life throws at me. Christ is worthy of my life, and for that I'm thankful. I have a Redeemer!!
What the rain doesn't wash away it will only grow stronger.
