When it rains here in Chama it literally pours. The showers that begin every afternoon continue on into the early evening. It's become a thrill for me rather than a nuisance. The smell of refreshment represents the symbol of this small town in my life.
David wrote of how he received his strength when he dwelled in the shadows of the wings of the Most High God. Those wings have been my source of protection through the storms. Until I realized that for every moment the heavens open up in preparation to send down a flood I no longer shut down but am free to receive.
Why have I been so used to running for shelter? Has the rain ruined my comfort? Yes. Without it life which surrounds me is not able to survive or to grow. So what once was a "damper on my day" has become the source of my eternal life.
" I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, open your mouth wide and I will fill it."
Psalm 81:10
