One of my favorite things to do is to go outside when it is raining and play, dance or just sit. I know it’s weird, but I love the rain, I always have. I love to sit on the porch when the rain is coming and smell its approach. I look forward to the rain - the weather condition, but not necessarily the “rain” or “storms” in my life. I wish I could smell their approach or at least have a forecaster tell me my chances of getting rain in my 5 Day Forecast.  Since that is not the case, I have learned to accept that just like in weather, rain will come. God is in control and knows when a storm is approaching.  Spending time with Him, in prayer and in His word helps me to be prepared for the storms of life. I may not always know when they are coming, but I know that I have the ultimate “umbrella” in my Lord and Savior. He has shown me that my love of dancing in the rain needs to be transferred to the storms in my life. Its not about waiting for the storms of life to stop , but learning to dance in the rain.
