Its RAINING its POURING! THANKYOU GOD!

This week I have sooo much to thank God for!! First of all, he helped me write an AWESOME bible study on Grace for Tuesday night! hehe I say its Awesome anyway not sure what everyone else thought!
Then Wednesday, My mummy rang my doctor because I have been getting pain in my tummy again and he told us that he was talking to the surgeon at the Children's Hospital and they have decided to go ahead and do my op! They aren't going to worry about asking permission because of my age, because the surgeon is retiring real soon so they wont be able to do much about it! HAHA! yayayaya! Soooo when I go for my next Doctors appointment on the 14th May, Ill be seeing both my doctor and the surgeon and we will pretty much be getting a date for my op! WOOOOOOHOOOOO! PRAISE GOD!! He really does answer prayer you know!
TODAY! I travelled to Hamilton where my Mum and Dad live with my 3 little brothers. The trip was really good!! It seemed to go forever but at the same time I enjoyed it! As It started off quite warm when I left Melbourne, the sun was out and making my car quite hot! But as I started to get closer to Ballarat I could see these dark clouds hovering. They were BLACK! As i got into Ballarat though, it still hadn't started to rain. I was beginning to think that the message mum had sent me saying 'Be Careful its raining heavily' wasn't needed!! I was listening to the Christian radio station on the way through Ballarat. Normally the guy on there is REALLY boring, He has only one tone in his voice and doesn't seem to excited about his job even though he IS able to spread the Good News over Ballarat and the surrounding community. which to me SHOULD be exciting. Anyway, I was listening and today instead of this boring guy they had more songs! I didn't know any of them but I was listening and a song came on called 'Healing Rain' and just as that came on it started to rain heavily!! Before there was only a little bit of drizzle not even enough to wet sponge. BUT now IT WAS POURING!! It was really cool driving out of Ballarat listening to this song. It was like God was healing the earth from the drought. It was AWESOME!
These are the lyrics, Imagine driving down the country road while its POURING with rain and you will have a small glimpse of how amazing it was today. The words are more about the healing God gives to Us but still IT WAS AWESOME!
'Healing Rain' By Michael W Smith
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain

And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the great I Am

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

To be washed in Heaven's rain...

Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid I'm not afraid...
OHHH and I saw a WHOLE rainbow! Not just half, but a FULL RAINBOW!! It was absolutely beautiful, I had to keep reminding myself to watch the road! GOD IS GOOOOOOD!! WOOOOO!

Love and GOD BLESS!

Amy,
What does Peter mean are you a candidate? Are you running for a political party or something?

Tweedle Dee,

A Candidate is someone who is seriously considering Officership in The Salvation Army as a vocation. Candidates feel called by God to fulfill this awesome task. In order to become an Officer in the Salvo's you have to go to Salvo Training College for 2 years, during this time you are a Cadet. To be accepted for this, there is a huge process, lots of forms to filled out and there are lots of meetings. Lots of talking and exploring. The two main meetings are board meetings. Divisional and then Territorial. They are the elders as such of The Salvation Army and they ask a bunch of questions and God leads them into a decision.

Tweedle Dee...Are you a Salvo? Hope God is blessing you heaps!

Amy said...
