I wanted to share these lyrics with you...(emphases mine)
Bring The Rain
by MercyMe
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
Is the Lord God Almighty
Dear Stacy,
ReplyDeleteI just received the link to your blog some minutes ago, so I couldn´t read too much... but I will!
For now I just wanted to tell you, that we are almost in the same situation.. Expectig our little girl Valentina with exencephaly due on January 3rd. So I am very excited, that I found you and little Rachel...
I wish you all the love, faith and strength you need,
very deeply feeling with you, iko
I am so happy that you were able to listen to, and find the lyrics to this song moving for you.
ReplyDeleteStacy you are in our prayers that God would continue to carry you through this journey. I have seen so many God sightings in your blog which tells me that God is right here with you!!
God Bless, Laura P
Dear Stacy,
ReplyDeleteI am the sister of ikomami (who wrote in your blog today, at 2.08 am). Currently, I am learning a lot from my beloved sister. Everything is upside down. It is about love, pain, the meaning of pain, defenselessness, Jesus... I think you know much better than I, what it is about...
Your words did strongly touch my heart. I admire your faith. And I admire your courage to face deep truth and love and the reality of life in Rachel. I hope you understand, what I would like to say. You certainly don´t want to "serve a purpose", because for you everything is a question of your motherly love: It´s simply Rachel! I only wanted you to know, that for me, your words give encouragement in our situation and that they are a shining testimonial for God. Thank you so much.
On the other side of the globe, beyond oceans... there´s somebody thinking of you, Rachel and Matt and your little ones. I am a weak prayer, but I will pray for Rachel.
Perhaps one day, if God wishes, we will meet.
I will continue to read your lines here in the blog.
Love from Germany,
Auntie Lolo
