“Drop Drop Drop”

” Our minds are constantly filled, it may seem impossible to clear it out…”

I lay flat on my back

I close my eyes.
I let go of my hands
And I let my left arm fall at my side
Then my right arm
My abdomen starts to rise
As I

take a deep breathe

My knees start to relax
My calves gently rest on the surface of the floor
My feet give in and open away from each other
With each set of toes facing their respective walls
As I

take a deep breathe

I lay there with my thoughts
As it

Poured

Did You say something Lord?
Am I what who You want?
I’m not sure what I want…
What do You want of me Lord?
What do you want me to do?
I have so much to do…
Did I pray?

And it

Poured

I forgot to pray…
Am I praying now?
I can’t breathe
My heart
So heavy
My mind
So filled

Overflowing

Then it caught my ear

Drop

Drop
Drop
Drop

Drop
Drop
Drop

The sound of water hitting my window

It was pouring

Rain

The rain knocking on my window
Felt like the Lord was seeking my attention
So I paid close attention to the rain

Then it became clear

Through the knocking of the rain The Lord responded

“Yes, my Child I did say something”

“You are everything that I want”

“And this I am sure!”

“I want ALL of YOU”

“So that you can LOVE with ALL of your HEART”

“WE have so much to do

“You are praying now”

And The Lord

Responded

“You did not forget…
But WE are conversing now”

“You are breathing”
“Your heart is
So heavy
but so FULL of LOVE
Your mind is
So filled
but so FILLED with JOY“

“I love you my child,
let me in, even when it pours”

My eyes remained closed
I took a deep breathe

I sat up
And I opened the window
And it poured

Lord God,
Thank you for speaking to me even when my mind seems so preoccupied with overwhelming thoughts and never ending tasks. Thank you for allowing me to be sensitive to Your Spirit in the things that surround me. Being able to hear your voice in the midst of the pouring rain. Thank you Lord for allowing me to recognize that even when it pours, we may experience pain through the rain, but the more we are able to experience the gain that the Lord blesses us with.
The Lord speaks, even when it rains.
We are called to listen, even when it rains.

Amen 🙂
