Nooma Rain

We started a new PWOC Bible study today.  It's a DVD  series with a talk for about 10 minutes then you discuss the topic.  It's simple and to the point.  You can check it out on youtube.  The series is Nooma by Rob Bell today the topic was "rain".  Why God allows His children to go through hard times or "rain".   I found myself getting really frustrated during the DVD.  I was thinking why don't you just cover your child?  He had huge fleece on and he could have easily zipped his child in the fleece.  Good grief! :)  The kid is screaming.  Finally he does, not in the timing I wanted. ha. 

It is such a great modern day parable about how God allows us to go through rain.  The whole time He is telling us we can make it and that He love us.  I have felt like that little child in the video to the point of crying out to God so much and so loudly that you almost feel like you are yelling.  Not disrespectfully but just with urgency.  During the "rainy" seasons in our life, you really want God to just make it stop or at least pull out a huge umbrella and let it rain on everyone else accept you. :)   Those rainy times are what God wants us to go through because it's a chance to be nearer to Him.  So good.  You gotta watch the clip. It's only 10 minutes.
