rain

I never use to like the rain that much, but about 4 years ago it was one of those unusual seasons in Fresno where we got a TON of rain. I had ended a very toxic relationship and I was going through a spiritual "cleanse" if you will. Focusing on my relationship with God and getting back to what my true life goals were. I had just moved to a new store to manage and with all this change I was really excited. I felt like a new chapter had just started in my life and iIwas truly happy, even through the pain and process of healing. I can distinctly remember standing at the bar of my new store looking out at the pouring rain with a sense of contentment,(something I very rarely felt). I knew I had put God first in my life and I was excited to see where it would lead me. I was happy being single for the time being knowing that God was working through me and Iwas on the right path to meeting my future husband but I was OK if that wasn't to happen for awhile, I TRUSTED fully in God.
One of the partners at my new store was a huge music lover and had rigged up a system to play his own music while working through the store speakers, I was OK with it as long as the music wasn't inappropriate. He started playing a young jazz musician named Jamie Cullum. This music became the soundtrack to my life at a time of healing and excitement of what was coming over the horizon. And that "what" was Ted. Through the pouring rain, of those first few months at Riverpark, I felt like it was cleaning the slate, washing away the bad and bringing in the wonderful. That music carried over into the months of Ted and I falling in love with eachother and to this day when I hear it, it makes me smile. Turns out Ted loves the rain and he made me grow to love it too. On a whole I still prefer the sunshine, but rain makes me think of Ted and our love. My nana always said "good things come of the rain" Man was she SO right! Ted wrote me a beautiful email after a rainy evening spent together, an email were he told me that he was 'falling for me'. It rained on the day Zerrell was born too.
So at this time in my life, this sorrow and struggle of being separated from Ted, it is once again raining alot, I should mention that it really hasn't rained in Fresno since 2006 when Ted and I met. Its raining and I know that in a very short time Ted will be home, so once again the rain is brings good things, like the love of my life back home to me!
