• Hope in the Rain

  Currently Reading Idols of the Heart: Learning to Long for God Alone By Elyse Fitzpatrick see related

  Can’t see it right now
  The fog is too thick
  Dark horizon’s mix
  Holds me spell-bound
  Can’t feel any more
  Cold water sheets fast
  This next breath can’t last
  The torrent implore

  Where is the hand
  Of a God who is good
  Of a peace that will hold
  Of a truth I can know
  Of a Savior who stood
  Where is the hope
  Of a Star who is Light
  Of a Way who is Truth
  Of the Love of my youth
  Of a King who makes right

  He’s here in the rain
  And the rainbow will come
  And the dawn break the clouds
  And the life burst the shroud
  He’s here in the dark
  And the sky filled with night
  Says as sure as the stars frame our flight
  He brings the rain

  Can’t see it right now
  But fog will grow dim
  Far horizon’s glim
  Gives me hope’s vow
  Can’t feel any more
  But water will rise
  And truth fill the skies
  And beckon life’s door

  Here is the hand
  Of a God who is good
  Of a peace that will hold
  Of a truth I can know
  Of a Savior who stood
  Here is the hope
  Of a Star who is Light
  Of a Way who is Truth
  Of the Love of my youth
  Of a King who makes right

  He’s here in the rain
  And the rainbow will come
  And the dawn break the clouds
  And the life burst the shroud
  He’s here in the dark
  And the sky filled with night
  Says as sure as the stars frame our flight
  He brings the rain

  In one week... I will be in South Africa!!!! I'm so excited!  Please pray for me as the final details of the trip get worked out, that I will trust God completely. Also, I started taking Malaria pills today.  They have some crazy potential side effects, none of which have hit me so far, and hopefully won't.  But one of the potential ones is severe depression.  I would really, really, really like to not have to deal with that kind of mess without the normal support of my family and friends, so please pray that this med doesn't cause it...

  In other news, I've got one more final left (in about an hour) which shouldn't be too difficult since this is actually the first college finals week I've had that I'm NOT on meds that make my short-term memory fuzzy - praise God!  And then... I'm FREE!!!!! And I get to play Schubert's Mass in C for some guy's recital on Saturday (super super fun!!!) So all in all, this is looking to be a great end of the week.  :)  Oh, and I get to spend Friday night with a family whose 7-year-old daughter absolutely adores me - what could be better?  Not much.  God is so good. :)
