How's the weather?

>> Saturday, September 20, 2008

Life is like a day in Majuro. The weather is sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, sometimes rainy, and sometimes all three within minutes of each other. Life can be a sunny day. Everything can seem to be going your way, and, just like the unpredictability of the Marshallese rain, your day can be hit with a downpour you never even saw coming. Sometimes your day just seems to start with the rain, and gradually, maybe through the smiles of some of your students, the sun peeks out through the clouds, convincing you to turn that frown upside down. Life is unpredictable. It always will be. Who knows what will happen next, or what your emotional weather will be? All I know is to look out for those rainbows. After the rain, after all that pain that we endure, God will always send us a rainbow- a little promise. It's as if He says, "Hold tight, it will get better!" or "I'm so proud of you for sticking with it" Watch out for those rainbows. God will provide. He always does, even if we don't immediately see it. So, my question is, how's the weather? ;)
