When the storms of life come, it\u2019s quite easy to nestle down all snug as a bug in a rug, and just wait for them to pass. After all, who wants to go outside when it\u2019s lightning and thundering and the winds are blowing 90 miles an hour? It\u2019s also quite easy to complain about the weather. In the winter \u2013 we complain about the cold, and in the summer we complain about the heat. Don\u2019t you love it when you see little kids, completely CARE-FREE, bundling all up for winter fun, or running out, dancing and splashing in the rain? And, don\u2019t you love it when little kids play in the summer \u2013 not paying any attention to the heat \u2013 so much so, that we have to remind them to put on sunscreen? <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve figured it out. Life isn\u2019t about waiting for the storms to pass, or the winter or summer to pass \u2013 or STUFF that comes our way to pass. It\u2019s about learning to enjoy the journey, whatever season it is, or whatever the weather might be — and even while going through the storms of life. Then what is it about? It’s about learning how to dance in the rain, in the storms of life and in the seasons of life. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been through some real downpours in the last few years, and this gal has become quite the accomplished \u201cdancer\u201d. I know how to bend, and not break; I know how to do the \u201cquick step\u201d and I know how to \u201cslow dance\u201d, and, best of all, I\u2019ve learned to depend on my Dance Partner, and how to follow His \u201clead\u201d. And in case you\u2019re wondering who my Dance Partner is —– He\u2019s the ONE Who created the dance!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
