It Comes and Goes.

Storms!!
Who likes storms?!

I must say Tennessee has some pretty awesome storms. They can be beautiful and terrifying at the same time!

In June of 2012, I was walking down a little road in the city of Lebanon (Leb-nan) TN, with Elder Olsen. We had just finished helping someone get their car out of a ditch, we started walking home for supper. 

We looked to the west and those clouds did not look very friendly! We picked up our pace a little! We were about one mile away from any cover.. 

The clouds just kept a rollin' in,

They just wouldn't stop!

At this point the wind started to kick in!

We were about 20 yards away from our door step when the clouds decided to burst open and let the floods down!

We booked it inside and watched the storm. It is crazy how amazing they can be, and then at the same time,

how destructive they can be.

A few weeks back, here in East Nashville, It rained pretty hard early in the morning. Next thing we knew, we were out bailing! Look at the water level on the brick!

On the brighter side of things!

Look at what the rain bring us!

The rain brings beauty to the earth.

Have you ever tried planting something and not watered it?

It dies right?

Sometimes, the plant may get too much water or too little water. It has to learn how to adapt to it's current situation.

If we look at the water as our trials, we may think that they are too much to handle at times..

God loves us though!
So He won't put us through anything we cannot handle with His help.

What would happen to us if we did not go through any trials?

Would we grow at all?

I know trials are never fun..
But we can do it!

Thanks to Sonic Drive-in, 

I have these lyrics for you!

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

It's gonna set you free,
It's gonna run out of pain,
It's gonna set you free

After every storm,

The sun always comes out.

It may take an hour,

or possibly a day or two,

But it will come out!

The Lord is always there for you,

Don't forget it!

And It WILL Come to Pass.
