About three hours after my arrival, I got onto my bike again to head back home. But by now, rain had started coming down. And as I biked, it just pelted down. And pelted, and pelted. Everything was soaked. I couldn’t look through my glasses coz they were so wet. I thought my hands were about to fall off from being so cold. And then I thought of a song by this band called Casting Crowns –
I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining!
I biked on, and it was still raining. I was also still seeing double. I knew both were SO EASY to simply whisk better. And both weren’t being whisked. I thought of the chorus of the song:
I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
Praising in the middle of storm. Despite tears, and despite not understanding. Thankfully, I don’t think all that many people heard me. Rainy weather is not people’s choice moment for heading outside. But for me it was clear: though my heart is torn, I will praise God in this storm.
