Washed by the Water

Christmas has come and gone, the New Year is upon us, and the rain is falling hard with frigid temps right behind it. I have sat down so many times to try and catch up...but something just wasn't right.

I am pretty much an open book, I share everything with everyone...hence this blog, but lately I have sensed that some things need to be kept close at heart and that, in and of itself, is a challenge. I love the journey of life, I love my family, I love connecting with people, but sometimes I just need to to process things within my own mind and heart....especially when it happens to be matters of the heart. Not as in love, but as in matters of my heart and where it is laying its treasure. The Lord is doing things, I would love to say mighty things, but when the process is painful and long sometimes the minuscule becomes trivial.

Right now my lifesong is Needtobreathe's "Washed by the Water". The chorus is powerful it says,

Even when the rain falls

Even when the flood starts rising

Even when the storm comes I am washed by the water

That is how I feel right now..that even though the process is rough, the cleansing power of the rain is worth it. So rain on, Lord, reign on Lord, over me and all that I have. Over my mind, Lord, cleanse it and keep it meditating on your word. Be the Inn Keeper of my heart Lord. Rain on.
