Rain.

Its been a rainy couple of days in the beautiful town of Henderson, Nevada. I LOVE it. Rain puts me in such a clear mood, the feeling of a clean earth. Especially because prior to this storm I have been indulging in my guilty pleasures, turning cold against the gospel, and being "puffed up" in my heart.

But with rain comes a sense of cleansing, like the primary song says, "I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain. And ponder of the beauty of an earth made clean again..." I love this verse but best part of the song is, when it says,
"I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain"
The rain is the perfect expression of who I am and how I feel. I love the outpour, the way it freely flows just as my thoughts flow freely from my lips. It also has a sense that can create an atmosphere of sadness, but thats ok too, because I am not going to lie, happiness isnt present in my life at the moment. The heavy fog, the clouds,and the rain, it all seems to be a perfect reminder that someone out there understands me. Its the perfect reminder that I need to be a good girl, dodging all the bullets life shoots at me. The clean feeling after rain is like the clean feeling after I was baptized. The spirit of goodwill so strong it hurt pressing on me like a ton of bricks. The way harsh rain skids against my face in the wind, when it feels so strong but yet feels so good.
I love the rain. I love the way it feels when trickling against my face. I love the sense of assurance it brings to my heart. I love that when it rains and the clouds are around I can feel a peice of the heaven Im reaching for. I love knowing that I am loved and the rain encloses that love around me.
