You Make All Things New

So I was driving to Pittsburgh in my car yesterday, on Thanksgiving. I was listening to Misty Edwards song, My Soul Longs for You.

"I believe you will come, like the rain. I believe you will come like the rain!
So let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah You make all things new, all things new.

It's just a matter of time, you're gonna turn it around, in time, time time...."

It was pouring down rain outside. The rain for the last two days has been RELENTLESS. We haven't had alot of rain at all for the past several months but it has been non-stop today.

As I was listening to this song, I began thinking about all that has been going on in our town. Last year Rachel Ray came and blessed Sugartree with a new kitchen and much more. God has been so faithful to that ministry and to the amazing director who is one of the most Jesus-like people I have ever met. So I was thinking about the and our local house of prayer and now Glenn Beck knows about our town and thinks it's an example of faith and hope and is coming to Wilmington in December because he wants America to take Wilmington's lead. Wow. What does God have up His sleeve?!??

So, I am thinking about all this as I am singing and worshipping along interstate 70 east. Then I heard God speak. I love when this happens. He said, " Just as it is raining now and saturating the ground. Just as water prepares the earth for seed and harvest, so I am preparing the ground in Wilmington. I am sending my rain to saturate the city and prepare it for the harvest to come." Immediately I thought, I need to call Robyn Morris. So I did. Bothered her on Thanksgiving because I felt compelled to share this with her. And the best thing is that God had just showed her something he spoke to her in a journal 12 years ago. It went right along with what I said. Definitely a confirmation that God has a plan. A great plan that we can't see yet, but he is preparing hearts. My spirit is alive with anticipation at what our Father has in store. Just as a magician pulls a bouquet of flowers out of his sleeve, so our God has something beautiful to reveal.....at the perfect moment.....and so we wait in anticipation. LET IT RAIN!
