Over the last 20 years or so i have had a persistent knee problem, which has now resulted in what's called an Oestochondrial Defect put simply a bit of the joint has worn away and a small piece of cartilage is floating around the knee joint. This is now causing my knee to lock into place causing excruciating pain!!!
The piece of cartilage is incredibly small but is temporarily totally debilitating.
Every part of me screams with pain and I cannot move forward until it has moved!
Why do I tell you all this...simply for sympathy!!
But it did get me thinking about the body of Christ.
You see in the Body the smallest problem can cause the whole body to come to a stand still, and quite often God will not allow the church to move on until the issue has been resolved.
He loves each and everyone of us so much that he would not allow pain or sorrow or trouble to be unresolved in the body.
How cool is it that we have a God who loves us this much!!
Just think about your job... does you boss stop everything because you are having problems.....highly unlikely he just wants his business to run and doesn't particularly care about your troubles.
But God is much bigger and has much more responsibility but will stop everything just for you.
Awesome!

Bring The Rain
I heard this song again this week and I was reminded why I called this blog Bring the Rain!!
I think the lyrics say it all really.
With all the bad stuff that has happened so much more good has happened. When we focus on all the negativity we can forget how much God has done for us, how he is ALWAYS there, how he will never forsake us!
Enjoy
Whats are your songs of the moment?
MercyMe - Bring The Rain
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I’ve gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It’s never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you oh Lord
My only shelter from the storms
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know There’ll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that’s what it takes to praise You
Jesus Bring the Rain
I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what’s a little rain
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty

Shame Shame Shame
I am incredibly proud of my Eldest daughter (And my youngest for that matter!!) She is totally fearless when it comes to talking about God
She is not ashamed to:
speak about Jesus - Even when it costs
Ask for prayer
Turn to Jesus
Stand up for her Beliefs
Turn to Jesus
For All this I am proud! but ashamed of myself.
I fail to speak about Jesus when the opportunity arises
I fail to ask for prayer
I Fail to turn to Jesus
I don't know why I fail so often because I am not ashamed of my Christianity nor am I ashamed of Jesus.
This is my prayer!
Lord I want to be better for you, I am not ashamed of you Lord yet my actions do not prove that.
Help me to take the opportunities that you give to talk about you. Lord Help me to trust that you can answer my prayers and to ask for prayer when I need it.
Lord be my life, my all, my everything
Amen
