Catching Up March: Going To A TV Show Taping

Late in March, my dear friend, Elizabeth, and I went to a taping of the TV show Life Today with James & Betty Robinson.  Elizabeth and I read the blog of a woman named Angie Smith.  She & her husband Todd (from the Chrisitan music group, Selah) were coming on Life Today to talk about their story of loss and faith that is documented in her new book, I Will Carry You.  I cannot tell you how much Angie's blog, Bring The Rain, and her book have encouraged me over the last several years.

I love this lady!

It was so interesting to watch the behind the scenes of TV show making.

Angie's Book.  I highly recommend it!

Every time that I log into Angie's blog, this song is playing.  It is amazing to me how someone that has lost so much can honestly claim such words to be true.  But they are.

"Bring The Rain"
by Mercy Me

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
