Dance in the rain!

Are you currently handling "storms" in your life? Let's learn to rid the "lightning and thunder" moments and turn them into "rainbow moments" or just learn to dance in the rain! How, you may ask?

The story of your life----don't get caught up in the tough times, but let God use your weakest moments to make you stronger!

We all know this famous quote ...

If you think about it --- this quote is so true! Sometimes life is tough....things happen....although we can't stop a series of unfortunate events, we can let our hearts mirror that of Jesus Christ when tough times do happen and you know they do. It was once said that, "What sets us apart from the rest of the world isn't whether we suffer, but how we handle the difficulties life throws our way."

I want to ask you something - have you ever danced in the rain - literally? While I'm not a fan of it on a regular basis (because I don't like what it does to my hair! Can you relate?) but I have just let go of that and just danced in the rain and believe me, it felt good - just to let go of my worries and anxiety and just dance!

Challenge:
Take those shoes off, put the umbrella down, pull your hair up in a pony-tale and dance in the rain. Let go, and let God. We as women like to control things (cough*or is it just me?) but we have to surrender the desire to control our lives and what happens and give it to the Lord.

1 Peter 5:7 says, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
That helps me want to let go and let God take over. No matter what storms we may encounter in our lifetime or even on a weekly basis, He will never leave us. He will help us get through those not-so-glamorous moments in life. Let's learn to dance in the rain and see the good during the tough times! God can use those moments to draw us closer to Him or reach out to others who may be going through the same situation. Trust Him. Lean on Him. Call to Him.
