Welcome to Episode 172 of the Warrior Words podcast!

When it rains, it pours.

That's a sentiment I've held onto most of my life. It seems, looking back (and while living it!), that it's poured most of my five+ decades.

And as much as I've loved the iconic scene in Singing in the Rain, it's a shame that it has taken until this last decade to appreciate it in my own life.

I'm not perfect at it.

But this podcast has shown me so many examples of people who are rejoicing in the rain, finding beauty in their suffering.

And I am so grateful.

I thought this podcast would help others find beauty - and I know it has because people have told me so - but God's wisdom and ways are so high above mine.

He has taught me to sing, dance, and laugh in the rain. He has taught me: This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad!

Again, I am not perfect.

But I share in this episode more storms ~ and, of course, more beauty.

It's awe-filled that a shift in perspective can have you going from "Why me?" to "Jesus, I trust in You."
