One thing is always consistent
during my storm troubles... I really look forward to the rainbow. I hold
on for the headache to go, the sun to come out and the little extra energy to
show up after being so exhausted the previous days. I begin to feel like I'm
starting over, starting fresh... like I've been granted a reprieve from something worse
than my normal self, which suddenly makes the normal not seem so bad.
Do me a favor and remind
yourself of this the next time you have to go through a rainy season: There's
nowhere to go but through it.
Whether that means you have to white knuckle it or
maybe be cuddled a little on your way through, I
promise if you keep plugging away to the other side the sun will come
out and the blessing will be there. God promised you the rainbow. And He
promised to be right there with you in the center of the storm. All you
have to do is put up
with the rain.
