Hello Friends and Family!
It has now been about 3 weeks into our trip and can I say God is moving mightily! One thing God has been showing me is that I need Him to "rain/reign" in my life, hence the title Let It Rain.
This has been our team slogan since training camp and I was asked the question, what does Let It Rain, mean to me?
I prayed about it, that God would show me what exactly it means, to me. As we all know, it rains a lot in New Zealand, especially this time of year! It is also really really cold. I began to get frustrated because I was so cold every day and I was so uncomfortable. Not because of my living condition, let me add-they are great, but because every time I stepped outside I was either cold or wet or both. I was really uncomfortable and God kind of showed me that through all of this He wants to be my comforter. If it didn't rain than I wouldn't need a rain jacket, if I was never pushed out of my comfort zone than I would not need to depend on a comforter, The Comforter.
SO I also saw the phraise Let It Rain in another instance, more like Let Him Reign. Each and every day I NEED Him to reign in my life. Not just here, but also as I make my way back home and get in a place where it is easy to be comfortable. I want Him to be first in my life. To reign in me constantly. My cry is that God would be my One Comforter and that I would depend and trust and follow in the steps that He wants me to take…even if it is uncomfortable.
He is doing great things and I can't see what He has in store for me next!!
Miss and love y'all
