My life: a strange shade of colors

Ever thought that you had the weirdest life on the planet?

So have I.

Lots has been going on in my life, good and bad.

Now, I could decide to become an emotional wreck because sometimes things look like they've gotten out of hand. I could cry and weep and moan and carry on like a five year old. I could lay in my bed for days at a time, getting pale and thin and starving myself. I could shut myself off, blocking myself behind an invisible wall.

I *could* do a lot of things, but what's the point in all that?  The world will keep turning, not caring a thing for my protests.

So I am going to keep calm and carry on.

No matter what happens in life, be it pain and sorrow, or even joy, the world will keep turning, people will keep dying and being born, couples will be getting married and breaking up, and pickles will be being made.

And no matter how much carrying on I do, things will not change. So why bother?

God is still on the throne. His holiness won't go away, just because something seemingly bad has happened to us.

When I am going through a hard time, all I see is a storm. Lightening flashes in my face, thunder crashes deafeningly in my ears, rain drives tears into my eyes, making it impossible to see where I am going, or to hear what is going on outside the storm.

And all the while God is over seeing the whole thing, driving me to the end, where there is a break in the clouds.

And I know at the end, I am going to see a rainbow.


So remember, have faith always, because even when things are hard, God knows what He is doing.

 The rainbows at the end of the storms always make my life a beautiful and strange shade of colors, the kind of color that you only get in a crystal clear rainbow at the end of a long storm.

So I will praise Him in this storm.

Cheers!
