God IS Amazing!!!

I know that you all know this ... but I have to share. We have been in the midst of what you might call a drought for most of the summer here in Arkansas. When Hayden said he wanted a pool party for his 7th birthday, it seemed like that would be a great idea for the kids to be able to cool off and enjoy lots of outdoor activities. I mean really the temps have been in the 100s for weeks. So what happens on Sunday, it begins to rain..and it rains... and it rains. Then on Monday the 11th, the day of the 7th birthday party, the forecast is for 70% chance of rain between 7 - 9. YIKES. I prayed a LOT that it would be God's Will for the rain to not be over the pool for those two hours. Seems as if we had lots of prayer warriors for our special fella. Hayden was very good about it. He told me if it rained then he and his friends would just play, eat cupcakes and listen to music under the pavilion. Well, it rained on me on the way home from work at 3, ir sprinkled some more and the radar looked terrible. My buddy prayed on the way to the pool. It was a bit cold. Who would have thought 80 degrees would feel cold but it was given that we were all used to 100 degrees. The kids toughed it out and swam and played. And you know what...it sprinkled on the way there and it rained on us a bit when we drove up in the driveway at home after the party but....NOT A DROP DURING THE PARTY. Thanks God!! You are truly amazing.
Pictures of the party and more about it when I get home to my photos.
