Rainy Day Blues, Anyone?

  It has been raining ever since I woke up this morning, and we all know how that goes...Lots of coffee and staying inside. (if that's an option) But for a lot of us, we must still face the day! Might as well do it with some cute rain boots, right? ;)

  I normally don't ever wear brown, but we can all make exceptions for matching cute shoes! Today I pulled out the rain boots, some skinny jeans, my moms brown scarf, warm tall socks and a nice flowy top and pulled my hair back and I was ready to face the day! I don't know about you all, but sometimes the rain makes it impossible to wear my hair down, so a braid down the side and a (very) messy bun seems to be my solution. Some may call this outfit lazy and some may say, why do you even try on days like today?! Well I have always been the kind of person who really likes to try and look my best anywhere I go. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of days that I stick with the sweat pants and an oversized sweat shirt, they are just marvelous! So, don't be offended if you're the one with the over sized sweat shirt today. ;)

 

Of course I have to share my favorite rainy day quote.

{ Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain. -unknown }

 

I love this quote, because it also can be referred to in the Christian life. Sometimes it seems as Christians we start thinking God has just forgotten about us, or he just doesn't love us anymore when he puts a storm in our life. In reality, he puts those storms there to teach us something and make us better and stronger Christians because of it. When we are facing a storm the best way to deal with it is to draw closer to God through it. And just learn to dance in rain. <3

 

(Song lyrics)

 

" Who am I? That the voice that calmed the sea, would call out through the rain, and calm the storm in me. " -Casting Crowns

"Sometimes He calms the storm, other times He calms his child." -The Ball Brothers"

 

{ The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, then the mighty waves of the sea. Psalm 93:2 }

 

Have you ever been to see the ocean? Well if you have you know how loud and big the waves can get! The two times I have been, I am always in awe of how amazing it is!  I mean how does such big waves and great amounts of water come about without a mighty Creator like our heavenly Father? Well, it doesn't happen without His hand in it.

He is so mighty He can calm the sea.  Don't you think He is able to calm the raging storms in our lives? I believe so. And I am so grateful He has calmed so many in my life, when I just simply ask. You know, that's all we have to do is ask, and He will comfort us.  We just have to have faith, that He will. :)

 

Hope everyone has a great rest of the day, and remember to dance in the rain. :)
