Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain!
There are a few times in the year in which I wish I could just sleep the week(s) away. Like now. School is as busy as ever, I have more papers to write than fingers on one hand, tests, quizzes, finals, not to mention all the reading I'm behind in. This quote is not a new one to me... I've heard it so many times. This time though.... I started thinking about how I'm in this storm called 'last few weeks of school' and all I want is the semester to be over, the storm to pass. My life will be full of times just like this- except Lord willing it won't be school- full of times I will just want to stop living for a few days and forget about everything on my to-do list. I don't want to wish my life away, because I love living! So... I have to learn something else. How to dance in the rain.
How can I live my life in a way glorifying to God during a storm?
~Seek ye first the kingdom of God. Another lesson He as been so gracious to begin with me (no, I have not passed that test yet...). Don't you love it when God points out a verse (from any old place you happen to be reading) and it goes along exactly with what has been happening in your life? (Matthew 6:33)
~Rejoice always, and again I say rejoice! (Philippians 4:4)
~Love and obey the Lord. (Deuteronomy 30:6)
Truths
~He will never leave nor forsake me.(Hebrews 13:5)
~He has already given me everything partianing to life and godliness.(2 Peter 1:3)
~He loves me.(Zephaniah 3:17)
PS. if you haven't read Mere Christianity... you should.
