"Send some rain, would You send some rain?
Cause the earth is dry and needs to drink again
And the sun is high and we are sinking the shade
Would You send a cloud, thunder long and loud
Let the sky grow black, and send some mercy down
Surely You can see we are thirsty and afraid
But maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case
We'll give thanks to You with gratitude
For lessons learned and how to thirst for You
How to bless the very sun that warms our face
If You never send us rain
Daily bread, give us daily bread
Bless our bodies keep our children fed
Fill our cups and fill them up again tonight
Wrap us up and warm us through
Tucked away beneath our sturdy roofs
Let us slumber safe from danger's view this time
Or maybe not, not today
Maybe You'll provide in other ways
And if that's the case...
We'll give thanks to You with gratitude
A lesson learned to hunger after You
That a starry sky offers a better view
if no roof is overhead
If we never taste that bread
Oh the differences that often are between
Every thing we want and what we really need
So grant us peace, Jesus grant us peace
Move our hearts to hear a single beat
between alibis and enemies tonight
Or maybe not, not today
Peace might be another world away
And if that's the case...
We'll give thanks to You with gratitude
For lessons learned in how to trust in You
We are blessed beyond what we could ever dream
In abundance or in need
If you never grant us peace...
but Jesus, would you please.... "- Nichole Nordeman

It's about time I started doing it. One wonders two things:
-Why did it take so long?
-Will I keep up with it?
on a completely different note:
The hard times are meant for lessons. Always. And I always wish there was another way, although I know, with faith, that the outcome will be for my betterment. The refining of coal always hurts.
