Before The Storm

When the storm happens you seem to be over taken by fear that you never known existed within you. The storm develops as the time passes by. The lighting strikes, the thunder rolls and the rain falls down on your face. You give yourself the impression that you can never make it to the end of that last drop of rain that comes with that fresh welcoming of the sun. The rain continues to fall and you simply drench yourself in water; allowing depression to follow. Your clothes beginning to feel heavy as if you were carrying a another human on your back. You think to yourself: "Whats the point in trying to fight something bigger than me?" You look down at the small puddle below your feet. The reflection of a girl so lost within herself stares back. Eyes so cold, eyes that cry out for help. That girl is you. You look up to the sky and with a voice so weak you scream: "WHO IS GOING TO HELP ME?" Tears of mercy begin to fall. Who is going to help her? Suddenly an angelic voice begins to speak. The voice of GOD. As he begins to speak to her; hope begins to develop within her soul.

She is overcome with great strength that just a few minutes ago, she never thought would be given to her. She stands up in the rain and begins to enjoy the rain drops, allowing it to wash away all negativity. She feels a sense of cleanliness that she needed in her life. She begins to dance, splashing in every puddle that the ground had created. A laughter begins to ring in the distance. A laughter so beautifully and full of peace and strength. Suddenly the thunder gives it last strike, the thunder rolls more more time and the rain releases its last drops. The girl looks up to find the parting of the clouds, introducing the sun to a world waiting upon its arrival. The girl continues to look up in awe of this beautiful wonder and whispers a silent thank you that was spoken to the lord that saved her from the storm. Who was that girl? That girl that learned to enjoy the rain? That girl was me. In life we all face situations that come like a violent storm and because it is so difficult we make ourselves believe that we can not make through. However, we can. I believe that there is a GOD in heaven who can and will rescue us from our troubles. I have learned that instead of waiting for the storm to pass, dance in the rain and find positivity in what is viewed negatively.

There is a quote that i find is one of my personal favorite: "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. Its about learning to dance in the rain." This quote inspires you to be strong during the storms that occur in my life. I want to be ready to fight and overcome even before the storm.
