Rain
"Things don’t always work out the way we want them to, or the way we think they will. Sometimes we don’t even see it coming. We get hit with some form of pain out of nowhere leaving us feeling desperate and helpless. That’s the way life is. Still, it makes us wonder how God can let these things happen to us. How God can just stand by and watch us suffer. Where is God when it really hurts? Maybe God is actually closer to us than we think. Maybe it’s when we’re in these situations, where everything seems to be falling apart, that God gets an opportunity to remind us of how much he really loves us. ""It always rains, doesn't it..."
"When you cry out to me, I listen. I cannot ignore the cry of those who are afflicted. If you're hurting, lost, soaking wet, confused, you cry out, he hears. He's close to the brokenhearted. Close to those who are hurt, lost soaking wet, confused."
"For Trace, the storm is the reality. He sees nothing beyond it. What he doesn't realize is that as his dad, I would do anything to get him home.""I love you, buddy. We're gonna make it. Dad knows the way home."
"For me, that walk was one of my deepest, most intimate memories of my life with my son. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything."
"May you, when you're soaking wet, lost, hurting, or confused, may you cry out and may the creator of the universe take you out of your pack and may he hold you tight up against his chest and may he wrap his eternal loving arms around you."
-Steve Bell (Nooma video: 001 Rain)
