A rainy day reminds you that if you can find delight, goodness, joy even, in this storm, then you can find it in your own storm too.

For the one who sits in the tension, between utter joy and inescapable grief. I pray this season you may nestle down, finding a soft place to rest your head. A place where you can feel the peace. May you let yourself hold the extremes, yet feel every single thing in between.

As I finished the sentence, I burst out into tears. This children’s lesson that I was about to teach, had totally rocked me. Because it wasn’t just for them, it was for me.

Are distractions getting you down?

One brave step at a time.
