Regenerating Rains
Rain is a powerful force. It can reak havoc and destruction on the world, and yet at the same time prepare for the growth of new life. Rain is a part of the natural healing cycle provided by God's hand. Tonight it is raining in Searcy. As I sat inside Midnight Oil, I longed to go outside and stand, head thrown back and arms held high, in the midst of the torrents of rain as they drove towards the hardened ground. To have the reckoning force of the storm sweep away all that is within me and prepare me for something new. A new growth, that is what my life needs. It is as if I were a plot of soil, over farmed with no nutrients left in me, and I need the rain to flow over me washing away the old and restoring health to my body and soul.

How is it that something with such force can have such a gentle hand as it graces this earth? Every drop signifies a different moment in this life, and it seems like it can all come at once and be overwhelming... but when you sit back and watch it fall, you can see your life gently falling to the ground and taking shape with all the other moments....
I too felt like just letting myself be washed away by the rain the other night.
I hope everything is going well for you, friend.
