It’s been raining the whole day today. Had the circumstances of this day happen a few years back, I would already be drafting my resignation letter, start looking online for available jobs, and be daydreaming of my escape. Things are different now. I don’t take flight everytime something goes wrong. I have kids/brothers/sons/somewhere-in-between and outside the box relationships but they all go under the umbrella of one word, family. I can’t just leave them behind. It’s true what they say, once you become a parent, you would be more willing to endure some things that you could have easily given up on when you didn’t have anyone else to consider. Somehow, I have a sense of purpose. I am so grateful that God prepared me for everything. No pain, I didn’t feel surprised, I’m a bit sad, just like in every change that happened in my life, but overall, I’m at peace. I know that God is in control. So, bring it on, rain! You can’t ask God for growth and complain when it rains. These seeming negativities are blessings in disguise. God is at work. I only have to be still.
