Psalms and the Rain

I posted earlier how our morning started out and basically ended with Lil Miss. But I didn’t post the most important part. All the in between.

When I arrived to church, Pastor and Mrs Pastor was in our room waiting for us. I won’t go into all of it, but the conversation covered how we (Mrs Pastor and myself) are becoming overwhelmed and burned out due to the fact we are the only ones working in the children’s department. We are not being fed the Word as we should. So the plan is to get a couple of churches to help us out by volunteering to work with the children. (Great idea by the way!)

After church I dropped the kids off and headed to the movie theater. I was overcome with the need to pray. I started praying and crying. I poured my heart out to God how I feel so inadequate as a teacher. I don’t feel I have been putting in the effort needed to grow our Sunday School.

I felt like a failure. I admit. I don’t like to fail. I like to accomplish the goals that I set and I haven’t done that. We have been there for months and we haven’t gotten ANY new families to come. None that “I” have talked to at least.

One verse kept coming to mind. “Create in me a clean heart O’ God, and renew a right spirit within me.”  Psalm 51:10 KJV

I began singing this verse over and over on the way to the movie theater.

I came out after the movie and as I am walking to my car, I smell that fresh clean smell after the rain. I look around and it had been raining.

The peace that I felt within was amazing. I know that God gave me a cleansing…just like the one that He gave the area around me with the rain.
