A song that brought me to tears this morning...

"Bring the Rain" by MercyMe. Here are the lyrics:
I can count a million times
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 storm
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

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

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Is the Lord God Almighty

This song brought me to tears on my drive in to work this morning. It made me realize that I haven't given God my all in this adoption journey, nor my life journey. Jack and I don't have a diagnosis for infertility. We just believe that this is the path God wants us on. We all pray that God should take away circumstances we believe are unbearable, yet this song asks God to bring those circumstances unto us to bring glory to Him!

I continue to ask that you pray for others involved in this journey, and as Margo just reminded me, it opens your eyes to how great and mighty our God is!
