Let It Rain!

“This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty." Matthew 5:45 MSG

Lately I've heard people saying that things shouldn't happen to them. Family members death, illness, hospitalization, financial hardship, etc. 
These are good people! Some serving The Lord others not so much, but still nice, good people. 

The verse above came to mind that it rains on the just and the unjust. The sun in the same way shines on all of us! 

I grew up going to Sunday school and my favorite teachers were the Bovee's! They are now both in heaven. I'm sure Mr. Bovee is singing the same song he used to sing at church! 
"His Eye Is on the Sparrow" 
by: Civilla D. Martin. 
I love the part in the song that says "I know he's watches me".

I'm struggling on this health journey. The cancer is gone, but my treatment is just about to begin. I didn't do or not do something to "deserve" this. I just want to serve and honor Jesus through this. 
Some people have said to me "your so strong"...my response is Jesus! 

My prayer for those reading this is that no matter what you are going through it's not a punishment, it's a journey. Embrace it along with the Father's hand and you (and me) will get through it! We may never know the "whys", but we need to trust The Lord!
