God is bringing things to the surface in my life that I never would have recognized without walking through this stormy season. How fun that your girls danced in the wet parking lot under a rainbow -- what a beautiful picture of life and love for them and that God has for us!

Sometimes (maybe even often!) when things go wrong, that is the time to draw closer to him so I can know even more of his heart for me.

I can identify with you about being in a strange season or storm of time. I have to say that I know despite the fact that I would not want to repeat this season that God has brought things to the surface of my life that never would have been without this difficult season. We never get tired of seeing rainbows do we? We have seen at least three in the past two weeks and its always a reason to stop and gaze. One afternoon my girls got out of the car and danced in the wet parking lot under a thick rainbow. Don't you know that Heaven will be like the ultimate rainbow? I'm sure there are plenty of them there. But you are right just a break in the clouds and one sunny, warm day can sometimes make all the difference. It gives you just enough to send you back out into the storm. Love you Valerie.

Some of my roughest times in life have been my sweetest times with Jesus (funny that!) so I see what you are saying about not being sure you want to leave your stormy season.

I also wanted to make sure what I'm working on is what he wants of me currently. I thank God for the small things as well as the big things that happen in my life. Even when things are going wrong, I keep praying. This was such a beautiful post Valerie.

However by the end of it I was tearing up something awful. You are spot on Valerie. I have been feeling all those feelings plus some this week. I need a rest but feel guilty about putting my responsibilities on hold in order to get it... I'm truly grateful that the storm does draw me closer to him but I'm definitely looking for His "Sweet Escape". (did y'all eat there?? It looks so cute!) Watching the skies with you my friend! ♥ Thanks for your spirit filled words today!!! It was just what I needed ♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
