Bring the Rain

It's amazing to me how many people read my first post on the miscarriage. Thank you all for your thoughtful responses and emails. To be honest I really didn't think anyone would read it because it's so long. I wrote that late that evening after everyone had gone to bed and I desperately needed to process everything that had happened. For me the best way to do that is by writing and journalling. It's very therapeutic for me. I was taken by surprise when you all said how it touched you deeply. Of course I'm beyond touched by the entire experience, but for so many of you to walk down that road beside me is overwhelming to me. Thank you for all your love you have showered on me. It means more than I can write to you all. I feel wrapped up in love, peace, hope, joy, and understanding.

And maybe someday if someone else has to go down this same road I have, they can find comfort in knowing someone else has been there. And find peace in knowing how God can bless you even in sad circumstances like these. He's greater than anything we can understand and He can do ALL THINGS!

Below are the lyrics to a song that I have always loved but has taken on MUCH more meaning now. It says everything!

BRING THE RAIN by Mercy Me

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
