Showers of Blessings

....so I went to the coffee shop this morning to get that morning cup of coffee, walk outside and look up and noticed that the skies were overcast...this guy came out the coffee shop behind me and asked, "do you think it's going to rain" looking up, I said, "Oh yes" He went his way and I went mine....later I was with my mom in my city "Coral Springs, Florida" I looked up and said, "it's still overcast, I know it's going to rain" my mom said, "It already rained at my house (different city~Pompano Beach, Florida)....I was happy for my mom and now I became more excitied because mom lives on the eastside and I live on the westside so "my time" had not come (season if you will) we have to rejoice with those who rejoice (especially when we see the blessing of the Lord showering upon them) ~ I pondered this for the rest of the day and realized something......at times in our life we can (as well as others) see evidence of something getting ready to happen in our life~ "something" being SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS ~ OVERCAST simply means overspread or covered with clouds; ....... more than 95 percent of the sky covered by clouds. ~ Overcast is a stage so to speak of expectancy ~ when we have cried and prayed and prayed and cried and we know that God has heard us ~ our faith is ignitied when we walk outside and we see "OVERCAST" skies......we then know that showers are coming....we then can say, "I hear the sound of an abundance of rain" ...now overcast is not rain overcast is the stage before the down pour....I'm pursuaded that someone is at a place waiting and wondering....when will the rain come? Dear reader....I have a question for you (just as the man had for me at the coffee shop this morning) Do you think it's going to rain? ~ Getcha umbrella...cause it's going to rain!

Trapped

Out of breath - struggling to breathe - what in the world just happen to me - in and out I flash from death to life - I cry silently because no one hears- as a matter of fact the doctor just pronounced it was nothing else he can do - now I see my body lying in the bed - what am I to do? Can anyone hear me? Momma why you cryin - hey tell my fiance' to get off the floor/what is everyone cryin for? - hey everyone - I'm talkin to you - why is everyone depressed and blue? - NOT MY BABY! - they brought my child up in here too? Momma please get your grandaughter cause she listen to you - why is everyone staring at me? Wait a minute - if you are all around the bed looking at me - why am I standing way over here by the door - am I outside of my body? - Wait a minute I feel this strange pull - hey everybody grab hold of me - cause I feel my self slipping - help, help me please - why all of a sudden am I hearing screams? I'm out of the hospital room now - I'm in the dark - I'm falling swiftly - I can't see my feet - why I am feeling intense heat - what is that horrible smell - wait a minute...am I in hell? No one ever told me about this place - But I was good, I helped old ladies across the street - I went to church, I even sat in the front seat! I gave money, and I dressed the best, I even had that one book 7 Steps to Success - All I did was have sex every now and then - oh yeah and drank lot's of alcohol over the weekends with my friends - but I was good, I don't deserve this - wait a minute, is that demon staring in my face? And another one to my left and wait, there's another at my right - what am I to do? I have no fight - I thought church was a fashion show - I thought it was about shouting and screaming hallelujah, oh no! Why didn't any Christians tell me the truth? They kept this a secret - now thats the truth - If any Christian can hear me please listen to me - get off your couches and turn off your T.V.'s go tell someone about this place - let them know that only Christ has redeeming power, love and grace!
