Let it RAIN

Thoughts, Prayers and Words of Encouragement: Today began with a wonderful reminder of how precious we are as His daughters...."You are Mine. I have set on you My stamp and seal of ownership all My Hosts throng to serve and protect you. Remember that you are a daughter of the King." These writings are from a devotional called God Calling. I had done it a few years ago and am revisiting it....What a wonderful visit:)

I jump in the truck and begin my journey today. The scriptures from Joel chapter 3 keep cycling in my head.....latter day rains....all the songs on the radio are about the rain....Mercy Me, Michael W. Smith....by the 3rd song I was getting the idea...then guess what...the rain started...as it poured down, so did my heart....Asking the Lord to rain down His presence,,,it was great..then all of a sudden a hole opened up in the clouds and the sun shown down as I drove for about 10 miles...yet all around me I could see the haze of rain. Then I traveled up over the hill and the rains came...so these are my rain lessons for today....

• I can not initiate the rain...it is divine
• It is refreshing, things get real green, it smells sweet and is cleansing.
• When you travel in the rain, the harder the rain the more difficult to see the path. NOW that is a BIG lesson today....cause a whole bunch of saints are praying for revival and we better remember that it is difficult to see the path....that is the story of Bay St Louis. As God has rained down on people, it has been difficult at times to see the path.
• There were lots of people pulled off on the side of the road waiting for the rain to pass. Although I had to travel slower....I want to keep moving ....I do not want this revival rain to pass me by why I sit on the sidelines.
• The rains come and go as the Lord pleases....so always be prepared for a shower :)

So as I traveled to my place of respite...this is another amazing thing....I get there and the house is full of "old" smells....and not pleasant ones. The kind of old smells that remind you of things you would rather not remember. Well with the raw emotions I have right now....the tears flowed...I told the lady at the bed and breakfast that I just can't stay.....so she says "You are here for someplace else" So she takes me to this beautiful prayer chapel...the prayers of the saints and the presence of God was so strong.....so for hours I stayed there,,,crying, praying, allowing the Lord to pour out His RAIN....in my soul.....it was totally wonderful....

The end of a perfect day....and for the whip cream topping....He led me to a place with a wonderful whirlpool, fireplace, less money and in a MALL parking lot. I love to decompress by walking through a mall....seeing all that is new, smelling stuff and just experiencing it all. NOW is that my Daddy taking care of His daughter or what.

What a great day....Thank you Father for your divine protection and guiding ...thank you for the experiential reality of how wonderful and involved you are in my life. I pray that You continue to pour out Your Spirit and bring forth the Latter Day Rains.....Love you
