We've definitely had our share of spring storms so far this month and a few more to go to close out the month. A lot of strong winds, lightening, and huge hail that has pummeled cars and houses. It's been an active weather season so far, but April showers bring May flowers, right?! Actually, most of my flowers have already bloomed! My knock-out rose bushes are blooming, as well as, my irises all around my house and my favorite, peonies!
I just read this on Facebook, "Don't hate the struggle it's the catalyst for strength." When storms come...i.e. obstacles, challenges, trials, accidents, tragedies, set-backs...don't get caught up in the whirlwind of it all, acknowledge it, settle into it, push through all the mess and chaos of it, and come out the other side with more clarity, more courage, more self-awareness, MORE STRENGTH!!
It's the storms in our lives that push us forward to where we need to be...to a greater self-worth, purpose and outlook in our lives. So, learn from the struggles, the pain and the heartbreak by feeling however you feel, embrace those feelings and feel peace in the pain knowing that God is standing beside you...always! Be at peace with his presence, his words, and his grace. His light shines in our darkness so that we may shine our light on others on the other side of our pain. Just hold onto HOPE...always!!!
No matter how strong the storms, the flowers will bloom when they are ready! Trust in the Lord! Blessings to you these last few days of April!!
