Dance in the Rain
Well hello my dear friends. I just realized it has been over two years since my last post, and those two years have been full of ups and downs. From the doctors finding malignant polyps in my husband's colon to a miscarriage, saying goodbye to my precious Harley, to welcoming a member number 3 to our family. They have been two long, but full years.
A lot has happened, both good and bad, but it's the situations and circumstances that we experience that help mold and form us into the humans we are. Experience is a great teacher. We learn if we are doing something correctly, or if we need to change our plan of action. As I reflect on the past two years of my life, I realize that I have made many mistakes, more than I can count. But I have learned that in the midst of those mistakes; I have learned how to not do things, or handle situations. I have learned that our children are a gift from God, and we are to take our job of teaching our children the gospel seriously. I have learned that love is not deserved, but a pure gift. I do not deserve God's love, nor do I deserve my husband's or my children's love; but I am loved and I know it with every fiber of my being. I have learned that it is OK to ask for help and to accept it when offered. I have learned to guard my heart and my emotions, as people can use them against you. I have learned the true meaning of friendship.
With these lessons I now know that in order to see the rainbow, you have to endure the rain. Rain may seem like a nuisance, but it is essential for growth in all areas of life; both metaphorically and literally. So, learn to dance in the rain.
