In April 2005 I miscarried my second baby. The pain was intense, but through it Jesus showed me how to love my husband and son more. Jesus, Bring the Rain.
In February 2006 my daughter died. I was literally in the depths of despair, but through it I saw the Body of Christ work in ways I had never seen before. Jesus, Bring the Rain.
Over the last six years I have learned that marriage is challengeing...and it takes hard work. But through it, I have come to understand more of the relationship Jesus wants with me. Jesus, Bring the Rain.
In March 2010 my grandma died. She was such a light in my life, but through it, I have been able to teach my children more about the gift of life that Jesus has offered us. Jesus, Bring the Rain.
In May 2010 we adopted two six year old boys...and I thought I knew hard before! But, through it, my eyes have been opened to what breaks Jesus' heart, and I am grateful. Jesus, Bring the Rain.
God if faithful...even when there is rain. His love never changes!

Beautiful words, Ashley!!
Of course I have to comment. Any time you elicit tears, I have to let you know! Thanks for this. Its so hard to endure the rain when you would rather sunshine.
Sometimes it is so hard to understand God's plan... that he always has such greater plans than anything we could imagine. I loved this post.
