It's just like Jesus to roll the clouds away!




Monday was the day we had planned to help Daniel side his home. We awakened to cloudy skies, but Daniel called and said Grand Rapids was having a major thunderstorm! We started checking weather reports, and praying, and decided to drive there anyway, praying the rain would stop and we could get the house sided. When we arrived around noon, the rain was coming down in buckets and the sky was so black! We ate lunch, and watched the noon news, which said that the storm was leaving the area! By 12:45pm, the rain had stopped, and the sun was coming out, and it was "just like Jesus to answer our prayer and roll the clouds away" and bring in a perfectly beautiful blue sky and 80 degrees! Praise the Lord! We were able to finish 2 sides and half of the back by 6:30pm! Daniel's roommate Tim was there to help us too.....I was mainly the "gopher girl" - helping to meaure, cut and hold, and of course run errands and feed everyone! What a different look to this cute home! And what a fun day we had!
I love the song..."It's just like Jesus to roll the clouds away...it's just like His great LOVE!"....and that's what we were praying all morning...and our prayers were answered!
