Rain and Snow - Isaiah 55 cont.

We visited Raquel's grave site on her birthday and the anniversary of her death this year. Family and a few friends braved the cloudy day to help commemorate her birthday with us. While we were there we shared a few memories and Scriptures with those present. We were leaving the site and bound for DC. It was our first trip there. We were so excited and couldn't wait to actually visit and explore.

I made a passing comment about how I knew the Lord would continue to fulfill Isaiah 55's promise of rain and snow during the ten day anniversary. I fully expected/believed it was going to rain and/or snow in Georgia and possibly DC where we were headed. It did.

We faithfully checked the weather while packing for our trip and they predicted sunny cool weather in the 50's and 60's during our stay in DC. That information led us to pack some decent but not so warm clothing. The weatherman got it wrong. A freak snow storm hit the area.

It rained on our drive up north but much to our surprise (and delight) a few days after we arrived, a winter storm dumped between 12 and 15 inches of snow in DC. All our friends here in Georgia also sent messages sharing how the snow looked on the ground outside their homes.

Our Abba allowed the rain and snow because He knew we were waiting for it to soothe and comfort us. G-d's word states that it will snow and rain in Isaiah 55. He allowed me to find that passage during my pregnancy when I desperately needed amniotic fluid to sustain Raquel's life, I continue to look for those signs and I haven't been disappointed.

Every major event since Raquel's conception and passing have been accompanied by rain and/or snow. Alyson W. shared not too long ago that rain has been a sign in her life, too. Rain brings new life forth.
