{sensing} A calm before a storm. Not a wild, out-of-control thunderstorm. But a nice, heavy spring rain. When you can see the storm clouds forming all afternoon. Watching the skies darken for hours. Knowing what is coming is going to be the first rain of the season and will water the earth and bring forth a bountiful harvest. A blessing, but not a surprise. Let the rain come, be ready for it, because with great blessing comes a task to be done.
{hearing} “This isn’t a flood, you have seen this coming, you know what is coming and I will tell you what to do with it.”
So often we talk about blessings coming in floods and this was not the case for me. It is a soft, blessing that will continue to nourish for a long time, not a flood that gets washed away quickly.
