At my daughters prompting, I finally find my way back to the beach this morning. It's been a while, due to some crazy days. Unfortunatley, I have allowed a busy schedule to keep me away from my favorite place; but not today, not now. Not even this chilly rain stops me today.
Usually sunshine is prefered, but sometimes a dark overcast sky closed in around you feels just right. I actually feel thankful for it, for the isolation, the sense of being alone with God, like this beach is here just for me today. I'm thankful for the differing colors of gray in the clouds, with varying degrees of drakness; the threat of this light rain becoming a down pour.
Parts of my life seems like this, kind of overcast, but it's okay. As clouds close in I cling a little closer to God.
Walking warms me up after just a few minutes. I actually enjoy the rain in this moment. Looking up, I feel it on my face, and I have to sing:
Rain down Your love, pour out on me, rain down Your love on me...
I just wanna feel Your mercy, washing all over me...
