Why you make it rain but don't have a rainbow?!

Things haven't been on the up and up here. I ended up having a 'conference' with my Pastor seeking wisdom and direction. After a good and encouraging conversation I decided to put into practice what he mentioned that he would do. Of course, I didn't do it immediately I just took the information and put it in the back of my mind and went on with my day.

This evening I was sitting in the living room and got some information that slapped me in the face and knocked me off my encouragement train. I took a deep breath and exhaled. Right as I exhaled it began to rain. I mean pour. I ran outside, in the middle of the storm and started looking for a rainbow.

--Side note--
When things get unbearable for me, God usually shows me a rainbow or a hawk. Just something He has always done for me.

I came back inside and remembered that I had put up a status 3 years prior about how God had brought a storm through and didn't have a rainbow. So I said it again. The rain started slowing down and I went back outside to look again. It was extremely faint, but it was there. I came back inside and decided to go get a shower and get in God's face.

It's stupid that I do that because He knocks me right back to reality. But He allows me to get my anger out. I said, "Alright God. You always show me that it's going to be alright and here I am. I've broken down in tears, on my knees, what more do you want? I'm tired of asking you to do something and nothing happen. What do YOU need from ME to make this situation change?"

Simple answer.

"For the next 30 days I want you to spend the first 30 minutes of your day with me. In prayer."

I started thinking okay so when would it be over. Funny enough, tomorrow is the first of September. So, literally the month of September. I was like okay that's fine. I can do that. Then God reminded me of something that used to happen. Something I used to be a part of. A group of people who I was close with.

A few years ago, I had a group of people I was very close with. VERY close with. Saturday nights we used to go to the church and pray. Not just like sit in a circle and pray. I mean sweating and running around the sanctuary, hours upon hours, deep prayer. We would do this because we wanted to see God move. We were dedicated. We would stay over night. Be there until 2 or 3 on Sunday morning. We were pretty hardcore.

God took me to the story in Joshua about these walls located in Jericho. The people were obedient and walked around the walls for six days. On the seventh day the priests blew their trumpets and the whole army gave a shout and the walls fell down. We, as a group, used to walk around the American Flag. I started to see what God was saying.

He wanted me to 'walk' and pray around this situation for the next month and watch what He would do in my act of obedience. So the question is.... tomorrow is September 1st.

What are you gonna do for the next 30 days to change your situation?
