All my life I have hated the rain…🌧

I think it’s because It was always the reason why we couldn’t do something as kids…can’t go to the park, cuz it’s raining, can’t play with our friends …b/c it’s raining etc.

Today as I was headed to the pool  to relax, it started pouring rain…I probably should have expected it, b/c that is what happens when you are in a rain forest… but ignoring the logic, I immediately became frustrated until Holy Spirit whispered to me “Enjoy The Rain!”🧐

This thought had never occurred to me as an adult before but I was gonna intentionally go swimming in the rain… As I walked out side and started letting the rain hit me…I embraced what I couldn’t control (how long it rained) but still enjoyed what was available to me ( swimming in the pool) 

Something significant happened to me through this experience…I’m still processing it …but I felt to share that sometimes enjoying the moment means that you have to release your own expectations and preferences… I was gonna let the unforeseen circumstance (raining) keep me from what I wanted (relaxing in the pool) but what I quickly realized is… if I released control…I could be content and enjoy the beauty of the moment. I was gonna get wet either way! 

Might be too deep… but God used this rain to speak to me HERE📍 #hereisholy

“Through the rain…you still reign…You Sustain.”
