Thank God for rain!



Photobucket

It all started with a phone call. The school department machine woke me up at 5:52am to 'inform' me about 1 hour delay for Providence students. It doesn't apply to me because I have to be at work at regular time anyway so... But the thing is I didn't go back to sleep, so I prayed. I talked to God a bit about everything and somehow I rememberd that my it had snowed badly in the last few weeks, and I hadn't washed my car. Bare with me, this is going somewhere.

I felt embarrassed that I was so lazy to wash my car and now I had to show up to work in a very dirty car lol. I thought of asking my father to drop me off and keep my car for the day. But then I asked God 'please send us a litle rain so that my car would get washed up a little'. Then I thought, 'well, if He doesn't let it rain, that's what I get for being lazy' But when I went upstairs and checked outside, IT HAD RAINED ! I looked up and thanked the Lord for answering my prayer and couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Then the more I thought about it, the happier I got. I figured that it was either one of 2 things: either He let it rain after I prayed, meaning He answered my prayer RIGHT AWAY! or He actually let it rain before I prayed, cause He knew I was going to ask for that. I had checked before thinking that the school delay was due to snow, but I didn't see anything outside (it was still dark), so I can't really tell the order in which my prayer was answered. However it happend, I'm blessed! Seriously, how awesome is our God? Little things like this make me love Him even more. But again, also big things have the same effect. I can't stop loving Him!

Some people complain too much when it rains, because it can ruin so many things. Sometimes I am one of them, but I quickly remind myself that God knows what He's doing and how He's doing things. We just have to realize that there's people that pray for rain because they NEED it.
