After the Rain

The sun came out this weekend, and we had a little break from the storms.  With the rains came a lot of dirt and debris to clean up; but, we can look forward to the rainbow, to the growth of plants, and to the blooming of flowers.   After the Rain is similar to my theme of Beauty from Ashes.

There are more rains coming in the weather; but, also in my life.  However, I am able to be thankful in the midst of the challenges, because I know that my faith is being refined, that I am growing and learning, and that I am turning to the LORD.  I do hope that through all this, I may become a more caring, wiser, and stronger leader.   I pray that my faith may grow and my character made stronger; and that no matter what, I may be a reflection of HIM.
