Life from time to time seems to bring storms our way. These storms might be anything from financial problems, marital problems or a testing of our faith. These storms sometime are mild reminders that life can change just as easy as a breeze can turn into a full gale. Sometimes these storms pull up by the roots beliefs or ideas about life and faith that one may have.
At any rate, each storm bring on trials. Testing where you must trust that whatever has happened: has happened for a purpose. When the storm comes, we immediately want to retreat from it. We hide ourselves looking for a safe place until the storm has passed. This is human instinct.
But what if? What if we decided to embrace the storm and learn the rhythm of the rolling thunder, wind and lighting? What if we lift our hands toward the clouds and begin to praise our common Creator? Begin to seek out a higher power as our dance partner and place ourselves into that embrace, abandoning our fears and trusting that it will guide us through the storm .
If we were to practice this dance over and over, would we then run toward the sound of the thunder and begin to look forward to the dance that would bring us closer to something bigger than us??
I for one have not yet learned how to abandon all fears when the storms come; but I am learning. I may not begin to dance at the beginning of the storm; but at some point, I trust in the process and something bigger than all of us. When I do the rain is more gentle and tastes sweeter and I wonder why did I struggle.
Instead of struggling and asking why is life so hard...embrace life and all of the things that come and accept that we are a part of it all...
