raindrops are falling on my head

on a warm, rainy day in kelowna in the summer of '08, a girl decided to go for a run. going for runs in the rain was the best! but as she reached for her running shoes she pulled back, not wanting to restrict her feet to the padded walls of confinement. she opened the door and ran. and ran. and ran. she let the raindrops pour through her hair and down her face. she ran down the road and across busy streets, not stopping as people stared at her wondering why she wasn't wearing any shoes. the pavement was still warm. and she thought it felt nice to be grounded. to be that much closer to the earth God created. 

i hope that when days are rainy i can continue to make the most of it. to enjoy living in the rain. to get completely soaked and take it as a blessing. this is my prayer.
