The sky was a windy-grey colour and damp with mist. In the front yard was a
girl. She was waving her umbrella about in the breeze. I watched as she was
waiting for rain-water to fill her inverted umbrella.
You may ask, "Why is he writing this?". I, like that girl, am waiting
outside for rain to fill me.
How many others are standing alone, outside, waiting for the rain?

I'd be that girl only I'd be hitting things with my umbrella and yelling at
the clouds to hurry it up as I'm so tired of looking at the rain clouds that
have come and they've not released the rain. I'm so tired of reading the
posts about what's coming or or how it's here or to wait longer or "it's
time!" etc. . Or,better yet, all one has to do it reach out and grab hold! If
this were the case I'd have it, the rain, years ago.
Lately I've been thinking about why I feel so irritated and I think it has to
do with the pregnancy analogy. When a woman is giving birth she's not
calm, she just wants the baby to hurry up and be out already. I think I'm
at that point spiritually.
The rain story is funny to me as I just left WA State, the land of rain, to
live on the east coast. : )

What I did not share. I wrote this on the way taking the dogs for a walk. As we were there I cried out: Let it rain. And the skies poured forth rain in answer.
The dogs turned to look at me as we got soaked by he rain.

Stacy, I was reading this word from Brenda Craig and felt I should post it for you. If I am off, sorry, but I just felt the tug in my spirit and felt it too strong to ignore.
I Have Raised You From Among The Dead While You Are Yet Living
By Brenda Craig...
I Have Raised You From Among The Dead While You Are Yet Living
Beloved, do not fret or entertain dismay in anything I have called you to do, for I Jesus, the Breaker, have already prepared your way (Micah 2:13). All you must do is follow in the footsteps of My dreaming heart for your life. All you must do is dare to believe and you shall see the glory of the Lord.
All the pain and rejection of this life…all you have suffered and endured will be worth it all. For the nails driven deep into My flesh prepared the way for your salvation and for your call. Who you are and the dreams of your heart are non-negotiable as far as I am concerned. They are written on the walls of destiny with My blood.
The enemy has been after what is within you. Why? He still longs to bring defeat to Me and counts it a joy to use you in the process. This is nothing new. One thing He seems to forget. I have already won and so have you. Cling to Me…hide in Me and be resurrected from the dead while you are yet living. I am here to make it so.
The devil…the father of all lies had already lost for I, Jesus, dwell in you and I am breaking through. And like Me you shall display My Kingdom and My Glory on the earth. But first, you have to endure till the end and overcome in the darkness and depths of the earth…overcome in the midst of your situations and circumstances.
You shall walk in a continual birthing and the treasure you are shall be unearthed moment by moment. The greatest of signs and wonders shall appear announcing to all with a loud voice of victory that My Kingdom has come and My Kingdom is ever near. Yes, I raise you out from among the dead things of this life while you are yet living. Cling to Me…let your life be found in Me and Me alone…in doing this all things shall be added unto you. Never put the cart before the horse or think your works can make way for you. I am the Waymaker and the imparter of dreams, visions and calling. I have called you and I call you, My Beloved Dreamer who holds the thoughts, intents and dreams of My heart. Therefore, be of good cheer for I have indeed overcome for you, in you and will do so through you. Come.
(From Brenda Craig's word Dare To Dream)
