Karen, you wanted to hear about the prayer retreat. Well, as I reread some of my journaling while there, I noticed how much of a theme there was. Incidentally, it is about rain. Um - I'm sorry that your gig got rained out, but, quite honestly, I'm very happy that it did rain.
So today I am summoning up all my courage to share something from my journal (from that Saturday).
Hosea 6:3
...He will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth.
You come to us like rain
Rain
Water
Life-giving substance
the desert is dressed
in her wedding gown
brought forth
by the rain
Rain
Water
Water of life
quenching the
thirst for You
satisfying all my needs
You created me for
love
You created me for Your
pleasure
You created me for
beauty
Beauty
Flowers
the desert abloom
Life
the essence of life
Water
Rain
You will come to us like rain |
