A few weeks ago, I turned 40 years old. To celebrate, my husband and I decided to rent a cottage in Hatfield Point NB. For two weeks straight, I kept looking at the weather forecast for the days we would be away. Rain, rain, rain, oh sun now.. wait nope, rain, rain, rain. I don't know how many time I checked but for 95% of the time, it showed rain and lots of it. All 3 days!
So on Monday around 1pm. We were on our way. It takes about an hour to get there. Rained some of the time during our drive. When we got there, the rain had stopped. It was cloudy but the temperature was warm. A little later, while we were sitting outside enjoying the view, it started raining. We went inside and it rained for maybe 5 to 10 mins. As soon as it stopped, we were back outside enjoying the view. Then later on, as we were talking and enjoying a bonfire, I looked towards the river and noticed it was raining. You could clearly see the rain drops on the river! But not on us! How amazing is that! How amazing is God! I knew it was Him!
The following day, same thing.. high chance of thundershowers. The whole morning it looked like it might rain but it never did. The clouds even broke and we had blue sky and sun!! I couldn't believe it! God cares so much about the things we care about. Even though it might seem small, God gave me the sun on my birthday! God held the rain for my birthday because He knew how much we just wanted to sit back outside and enjoy the beautiful view and have peace and quiet. I got so emotional that day. I just felt God's presence the whole time we were there. Wow!! I am still in awe of it all! God is so good!
The next morning, as we were packing up and getting ready to leave, it started pouring out. It made me laugh. It rained the whole time we were driving out of the city until we went on the highway. It stopped again.
All I know is that God is awesome! That He cares about the things we care about. No matter how small or big they might be. Praise God!!
