Driving in my car this morning this song (see below) came on. I found it fitting for the state I find myself in. It reminded me of the post Moon wrote the other day about living out our faith. It seems so easy to say what you believe but, when a storm comes, does our true faith come out?
So here I am, standing in this storm with my "umbrella," watching a part of my world falling apart right in front of me, singing “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 what it takes to praise You, Jesus, bring the rain.” Praying I can live out my faith. Am I really strong enough to say “bring me anything that brings You glory.”?

"Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope," Romans 5:2-4
Bring The Rain: 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
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,
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
Holy, holy,
holyHoly,
holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Is the Lord God Almighty
