quote of the day: dancing in the rain

I I love this quote. It is stolen from Tanyetta's quotation contest, I couldn't resist:

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain"
Author unknown

How true. This quote right here is the key to happiness. Life really sucks sometimes. You can choose to be down and broken or you can rise to the occasion and make the best of a bad situation. One of the laws of physics says that for every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction. A ying and a yang. I truly believe that we are supposed to learn lessons from every situation we go through and there is always a blessing in disguise. For example, from my cousin's tragic death, I was able to feel the love and support from my friends (thanks everyone). It also inspired me to take action on some level (that reminds me I need to e-mail someone regarding opportunities to work with AIDS groups in Swaziland). I digress but you get my point.
I think this quote embodies all that God wants from us. He wants us to trust him during the storms of life and rejoice any how. It is easy to say "Thank you Lord" when things are going well. What about when they are not? Do you trust in the divine goodness of God to work things out in your favor? Do you know how to dance in the rain?
