Drenched in the Rain

Soaked in the Rain..... today......
-
weather as a reflection of my mood and life this year
-
sunny one moment as I got onto the bus from Haborfront after a time of fellowship and food with a bunch of church friends(surprisingly we were talking about apologetics and theology instead of the usual rubbish today).
-
And the storm came, crashing down all around as I sat in the safety of the bus... napping and unaware of what was happening around me.
-
as I opened my eyes.... and saw the storm... rain and wind.... and heard the terrible clapping of the thunder...
-
And as I prayed for the storm the weather to get better.... it got worst instead....
-
Torrential rain, lightning, and thunder greeted me as I got off the bus.
-
And I got soaked as I made my way back home... from the bus stop.
-
Wouldn't it be similar to how life has been for me? All was well as the year began... before trouble was stirring and I was unaware... and ... exposed... and now... facing in the open... and the storm still gets heavier with additional trouble..
-
And for now my mood is like the weather too... sunny one moment... and rainy and stormy the next.

but it's not true. i'm just as weak as all of u. just the same. ... .... ....
......... i'm just as weak - if not weaker. all you guys have seen in me so far, is simply God's grace and mercy. nothing more. I'm nothing without Him. absolutely........

Amen to that...

I am nothing without Him.... whatever prayer thingys & worship in choir, and whatever bible knowledge etc.... 7/7 Qt checks ... ... nothing but filthy rags in front of Him...
Its By His Grace only... in my weakness that His power is made complete and perfect (Romans12:9)
