The Rain

I spent more time in the hospital than not
Three months in, 
a few weeks out
'What's the purpose?' I ask myself,
and find no answer inside.
The only answer lies with the Lord,
in His word, in His voice,
In His love.
I find myself stronger, 
somehow changed.
Then suddenly the storm makes sense.
I can't grow without the rain.
It changes you,
makes you turn to the Lord for answers
and stop trusting in what the doctors say.
After all, medicine is just an art, a guess,
But God's word is truth, and I'm here to stay
in the rain.





Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding.  With all your heart acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.
