Bring on the RAIN

So this morning I was listening to the song my Mercy Me called "Bring on the Rain." This song means so much to me because through out life there have been many things in my life that just haven't turned out exactly how i expected them to. I have come to realize that i have NO control of what happens in life but rather i have the ability to choose how i react to those things. This song is a constant reminder that if we never had rain then there would always be a drought. When i think of that it kind of is a metaphor for life in many ways! If we never go through hard times in our spiritual life...If our faith is never tested then really what do we have to stand up for what do we have to challenge ourselves. If we never had rain or hard time then we would be stuck in a spiritual drought. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of the death of a dear friend and as i look back on a year ago...I went through rain and i was angry with God and extremely upset. BUT as i look back on that i have learned so much from that experience. Some days there will be rain but if nothing else i have learned instead of dreading it...BRING ON THE RAIN!!

I love all of you and for everyone that was there for me during that rough time in my life...THANK YOU!!!
