Beautiful Rain

Romans 5:3-5 reads: Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom he has given us.
Welcome to my blog, my head, my heart, and my world. I'm new at this, so patience will be a virtue you'll need to exercise while I get the hang of this whole blogging thing down.
Beautiful Rain. Rain is the yucky wet stuff many of us try to avoid, but we learn that it's inevitable, we need it to survive. Beauty is what rain creates. The rainbows, the flowers, the clear skies after clouds break away. If life never came with struggles or obstacles, we'd all be limp as spaghetti. Rain gives us backbone, character. It's often after the storm passes that we recognize or strengths. If you're going through a storm, remember God is covering you, and that storm is shaping and molding your character. With God, you can walk out of that storm a stronger you,a more beautiful you. Every storm that you walk out of adds to your supply of hope. Hope that you can hold onto during the next rainy season. Hope is expecting with confidence. Confidence is knowing that no matter how hard the rain falls,God our protector is with us and will carry us through. Every storm we overcome brings us closer to Him. So, I say, bring on the Beautiful Rain.
