Rain….to some, rain is just an inconvenience. It ruins their plans and completely ruins their day. They sit by their windows and wait, some patiently and some impatiently, for the storm to pass and for the sun to come out so they can get on with their day. To some people, rain means feeling depressed, sad, or lonely and it totally changes their attitude and outlook. But to some, rain is the best thing that ever happened to them. They can’t wait to be outside, running through the downpour and jumping in puddles and finding ways to make it the best day ever. So what makes the difference in these situations? Is it the time of day the rain is falling or the amount of rain that’s falling that determines one's outlook on it? No! Rain is rain, no matter where you go or what you do. The difference is all in the heart of the person being rained on…
Life isn’t all sunshine and cloudless days. Life isn’t a perfect journey that we all take and enjoy every experience along the way. Life is about enjoying the sunshine and the rain and is about learning the lessons that God has for you along the way. Sometimes the rain will fall and may seem like it’s never going to end. God sends hard things our way to teach us lessons and to help us become the Christian He wants us to be. But, I think He also wants us to learn how to enjoy life, no matter what we are going through.
I have had some of the darkest storms pass through my life, and I haven’t always felt very thankful for the dark clouds that God has placed over head. But looking back now, I see that those dark and scary storms have made me the Christian and person I am today. And I can honestly say I wouldn’t change those experiences for the world! So this is blog is just some of my random thoughts about life in general and about how, every day, I’m learning to dance in the rain...
