Hey guys! I know I haven't blogged in a long time. But I decided to get on and write something. I'm sittin' at home right now and a big storm looks like it's about to pour the rain, and strike some lightning. And, as you know, I always tie in regular activities to deep metaphors. So, here's my deep post!
Life is like a sunny July day...long, but very memorable. It's unforgettable. So, when you feel like a storm is about to ruin your perfect day, just learn that sometimes, you have to dance in the rain. You have to embrace the pain. Because if you don't understand it, it's harder to learn from it. God gives you little tests of your strength. See how well you can handle the bad and get right back to embracing the good.
So as you sit, and wait...dreading the rain, remember how great things were before the storm hit. Before you could only see the gray. Remember the sun, the bright blue sky, and those long nights by candle-light. Remember the feeling of going to bed at night, and wanting the day to never come to an end. Standing with all your friends and looking at all of them and feeling truly blessed. When out of the blue you send your best friend a long message saying how much you appreciate her humor. Watching T.V. with your sister and suddenly realizing how fast she's grown up. Doing homework, stopping for no reason, and go over to your big brother's room and telling him you love him, and miss the days of taunting him for the last Popsicle.
Before ya know it, your "during the storm", will be an "after the storm". Life is a roller coaster of emotions and events. But stay positive...the sun always shines. And...who ever heard of a rainbow without a storm. The storm here has passed, and I'm ok...(:
