Even in the rain

The part about being real...well sometimes it's hard to show all your cards, to let other people know how it really is. This is raw emotion we're talking about....the kind that you don't just share lightly.

Last night I spent some time in the middle of the kitchen listening to some worship songs, having a moment with GOD and crying. Not just a few tears but like when it's pouring the rain outside tears. There comes a point in our lives that we just can't hold it all in anymore and it has to come out, for me it comes out in a big way. I prayed...I prayed for the strength to stand up, to be strong and to see clearly what HE is trying to teach me. I prayed for patience because I don't have anymore, I prayed for wisdom as I feel like I've lost my path and I prayed for healing because my heart is heavy. I heard someone once say that right when you’re about to "fall" GOD pulls you back just in time. Last night I felt like I was falling...this morning I feel like GOD has pulled me back.

Just like the picture above I am the flower in the middle of a pretty intense rain storm. I'm getting pounded with rain and at some points between the rain and the wind I'm not sure I'm strong enough to hold myself up. But I fight, I fight hard to not be brought down, I stand tall because I know that it won't last forever.....

Then when the rain has past and the sun comes out, I lift my eyes to the heavens and thank HIM once again for seeing my through the storm. Each of us face different storms daily, some only last a few minutes while others last years. Some of them will end with sun and other won't ever end. But through it all we must never forget to lift our eyes upward and know that no matter how strong the rains come or how crazy the winds will get, HE will never let you fall...HE will pull you back. What an awesome reminder of amazing love...don't be afraid of the rain.
