This may more or less start as an incomplete thought but hopefully it will make sense towards the end.
Today, after reflecting on some things earlier this week and coming from 3D last night talking with my small group girls, I finally started to understand what the Lord has been showing me. I suppose sometimes I can be a bit slow when it comes to a lesson God has been teaching me. Then again... when I really think about it, aren't we all? God isn't something you can just get because He's so infinite and none of us will truly understand and know Him till Christ comes back, however; that is also part of the adventure. Discovering new things about Him and in my own opinion, it never gets old.
So, being that Monday I had the unexpected privilege of helping Kyle Adams, the tight-end for the bears at my job, [Click here to read on his experience/work in Haiti last summer]

Plip Plop, Raindrops
I hear the rain as it hits my windowpane and think, wow... God is amazing. I just simply adore Him and all His goodness. It's quite late and though I should be asleep, I just felt compelled to write.
The sound of water falling from the sky has to be one of my favorite things to hear and to know that the Lord, the One who created the world, made something like rain that is so soothing to my soul. Such a small thing.
I think it's safe to say that everyone likes a little rain. To venture and say that everyone likes a lot of it might be a stretch. This makes me ponder my spiritual life and if I'm just plip plopping around in life without any real purpose or intention of watering those around me.
Yes, rain can be a small thing, but with a little help from a strong wind, it can definitely go places. That's how I want my life to be. Though I may be a small droplet in the world, I know that I have a God who is more than big enough to help me make a huge impact in the lives of those around me, for the better.
Storms can be scary sometimes, but how else are things going to get stirred up, shaken, wiped clean? When it's all over and the rain starts to slow down to a steady trickle, we can walk out and see a bit of sunshine start to creep in and be completely content with the plip plop of the raindrops, knowing that it gave us something we needed. Water to bring life. Just the same, Christ has done for us. He brought us life, real life giving water and on occasion has to stir things up a bit, but for our own good. To make an impact on us so that we in turn can make an impact on others.
