Dancing in the Rain

Well, after a long winter the sun is finally shining. Yesterday, after school and track practice. The rain started coming down, it would go from a slow soft beat to a hard fast one. Driving past the field across my house I saw a rainbow, the radiant colors were shining bright. I was hurrying to get home so I could capture it on camera. But unfortunately as we got closer it started to fade. Sadly, I couldn't get a picture of the rainbow, but what I got instead was an improtant lesson. When I got about three minutes away from my house, I saw the other side of the rainbow. As I talked to some friends yesterday, I told them how it had been the best day in a while so far. It was truly a good, refreshing, or as my friend Hannah said, "It was a smiley kind of day." I just had a great time. Seeing the rainbow and feeling the rain come down on me reminded me that God was there, holding my hand all the way. It was Him that had made my day so spectacular. He helped me do well on all my tests, quizzes, and homework. Pushed me to run faster on all my sprints, and encouraged me to laugh often, smile a lot, and never doubt His presence with me. I'll never be alone. A few months ago I would have days when I felt no one was there, and I was alone. Having yesterday with God, re affirmed in me that I will never have to worry because God is always there. God works in mysterious yet magical ways. Always be ready for Him to work in your life. Take your time to dance in the rain, tell someone you love them, spend time with family, talk to God, make a wish, sing like no ones listening, and live like there's no tomorrow because you never know when God will take you to live with Him.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... it's about learning to dance in the rain."
