The Rain Doesn't Last Forever...
I have to be completely honest with you guys. This last week and the beginning of this week has definitely been long and overwhelming. My great grandma recently passed away and we had services for her on Sunday and Monday, but it was hard to accept that it actually happened and she's gone. On top of that, I did not pass the final exam for the class that I needed to move onto the 3rd phase of the nursing program. I was devastated and torn when I found out I failed. It hurt because, honestly, it feels like I've failed 3 times. At this point, I'm not sure where or what I'm supposed to be doing. I admit that this road I've been on hasn't been easy. My faith has been legitimately tested. It's like someone wise once told me it sucks right now, but, eventually, it gets better!
It's during the confusing and broken moments that God says "Hey, rest in me knowing that whatever you may be dealing with is in my hands." Life is always going to have its hiccups, but it is truly up to us to see passed that while reminding ourselves the rain doesn't last forever. We may have seasons where it literally is pouring hard in your life. It may feel like issue after issue keeps coming and you wonder to yourself "when will I catch a break?" You may be in a season where it rains, but it eventually stops or you could be in a season with no rain at all. Whatever season you're experiencing, know that there is always sunshine on the other side. I understand it is hard to see the bright side to things, especially after life hits you with everything its got, but it does get better. I wouldn't be writing this if I knew for a fact life didn't get better. For example, a storm; it's dark, cloudy and it rains and rains. Eventually, the storm calms, the clouds disappear, the sun comes out and it becomes quiet and peaceful. After the storms of life end, God brings us peace and hope for better things to come. Your sunshine is coming and it is going to be okay. All comes to pass soon, seasons don't last forever. Your season is temporary. It gets better, just keep going!
