Soaked in grace

I've just come in from running in the rain, soaked from head to toe. For fear that I might forget the feeling that is seeping through my veins, I am writing, drenched in the water that God has poured out from the heavens on our land. I walked out the door this morning while it was just a light drizzle and as I walked the rain started to come down harder. I had to laugh and I think I smiled most of the 45 minutes, hands lifted in praise to my God because the feeling of his grace is coming back again. Not that feelings is what we should trust, but he has created everything in my being. Therefore my feelings are authentic and freely flowing right now. 

The past 6 months have been a struggle in every way. At this very moment I can see somewhat clearly through the haze in the air. God never said this life would be easy, but he does say that we will NEVER walk alone. So, this morning was a wonderful renewal of my mind as I ran with him soaking in his grace.
