Jesus, Bring The Rain

Holy, Holy, Holy

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


I heard that song as I was pulling onto campus this morning. One of the first lines caught me. "Can circumstances possibly change who I forever am in you?" It's definitely something to think about. Or to do a Bible study on. I feel like that's the mode my mind is in now. I have had an absolute blast coming up with Bible studies for the high school girls here. I feel like doing that, coming up with and giving Bible studies is what I want to do forever. I have learned so much about God's word, His love, His excitement about what the coming generation is going to do in this world, what they are capable of, and more importantly what He is capable of doing through them. It's so empowering to see these girls, going into their third of fourth year in high school and their faith is so strong. It's amazing.

Anyway. I go home in three weeks. I feel like it's going to be a bit of culture shock. Ha. But I'm looking forward to it. And not long after that football starts, which is super exciting.

Well, I will close this short message with some prayer requests. Please pray for my mindset as I finish my last three weeks with campers and go into a world where there is grocery shopping, gas to buy, classes to take, people who need our Lord, and boys. Please pray for the hearts in Athens that will be changed this summer and for those of us whom God will use to change them. This is going to be an amazing year but it's going to take much prayer. Please pray for me to be sustained. I am dragging right now, and I know I'm not the only one.

I love you all and thank you for your love and your prayers! I can't wait to see you all and hope it is soon! Please let me know if there is anything that I can be doing or praying for!

In Him,
Philippians 1:3-6
