Last Saturday, I was driving down highway 75, and suddenly it started storming. The rain was so heavy and it was so dark, I could not see in front of me.
All the cars were driving so slowly, finally, I managed to pull over. If you know me, I don’t like driving in the rain and when it’s storming, I am not even attempting to do so.
After a few minutes who seemed like an eternity, the storm stops, and the dark sky becomes so beautiful and clear.
As I am reflecting now, I could not help correlate that particular experience with instances in my life, where things were so uncertain, dark, and even stormy. I walked by faith thru them and saw the changes and my life becomes settle.
I am not sure what are you going thru in your life at this time. I don’t know which storm you are facing currently. All I could say, if you are reading my post, know that you are not forgotten, you will find your way out through your storm. Remember in order to have a rainbow, there must be a storm.
I think this is an amazing reminder that rings true for so many today. With the troubles around the globe, so many are losing sight of the rainbow through the clouds. They are drowning in the dark storms. Thank you for this!
I’ve been through many of those Florida storms like that, and it’s so hard when you’re driving! I’m glad you were able to navigate it safely, and find the deeper meaning in it all. It’s so true, the storm has to end at some point!
What an amazing reminder, I have never been through a storm.. Such a great read! thanks
Love this! You will never gain strength without struggling first.
Wow, what an amazing and motivating post. Thank you for sharing. That really is a great correlation – a rainy uncertain time and having faith to get through it. I think we all need a little bit of that, especially in the world today with everything going on. Beautiful post! <3
Your words are so on point! Whenever I am going through a rough time I always remind myself of the rainbows.
Such a great reminder that we all need. Storms allow us to embrace the beauty even more.
This is beautiful and such a great reminder that we all go through things and need to have faith to get through our storms.
Your pictures of the storm are amazing. And you’re right about pushing through the storm to get to the rainbow on the other side.
Thanks for reminding,thou shall pass. Let’s all stay positive.
So beautifully you’ve explained the importance of the darks in our life. We all should have a faith in our journey and believe that the storm will pass and rainbow will emerge.
This is so important to remember! The song “Every storm runs out of rain.” Has really gotten me through a lot.
I always look forward to rainbows and cool wind after a storm. I love how you give meaning to that lines. Photos in this post are beautiful.
I love when the birds come out after a storm – it’s so peaceful.
behind all this storm in our life,,theres always a bright light…its up to us how we gonna interpret it on our everyday way of life….lets use this bright to life to move on…thnanks for sharing
Oh man, isn’t this true for life? I needed this reminder… everything going on here in the US is a huge storm. Hopefully we’ll have a rainbow soon.
This is a very inspirational blog of yours, I love how you promote positive thinking as well. Thanks for sharing this article with us!
When I am down, I always try to think positive and remember there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Beautiful reminder. This morning I was meditating on the impermanence of things around us. Very powerful meditation indeed.
It’s interesting how we always feel as though the storms will last forever. The beauty that follows is worth it though.
Ah great way to use the storm as a positive and reflect
Unfortunately when the storm is blasting it is hard to imagine the sunshine at the end of it. I don’t like driving in the rain either, I would rather stop and wait for it to pass than continue with low visibility.
This is so relatable. The toughest times in my life have resulted in the clearest visions afterwards. No mud, no lotus! 😉
Amen.and just to add on,I believe storms are only there to prepare us for the greatness to come.
This is such a great reminder. It’s so hard to remember that storms end. And, there is such beauty and freshness afterwards. I needed to hear this today!
I haven’t been to a heavy storm haha. This is a good reminder and always looks pretty after the storm.
I have learned that for every tragedy, there is always something good that will come out of it.
Such a beautiful post; thank you so much for sharing.
Definitely something I needed to read. Thank you for this!
A lovely piece. It’s amazing how the things around us teach us about the things we are going through. Just like seasons come and go, so are the stages in our lives.
This truly resonated with me personally. Loved it!
You make a really great analogy about how faith and trust, or even just slowing down, can quiet the noise around you. The rainbow is so fitting. I’ve been in similar experiences where I get so stressed that it’s hard to see beyond the problem, and all it takes for me to just stop worrying about what I can’t control and focus on what I can. As “cliche” as it sounds, I want to make a commitment to actively live by this!
woow…love the photos shared, may I know do you captured the thunder photo with phone or camera? Just curious, cheers, siennylovesdrawing
This is such a modest yet thought provoking post. Really love how you gave out such a strong message so subtly. There is always a ray of hope after a storm. All we need to do is stay positive.
so beautiful! You have a great eye for photo and perspective!
“Remember in order to have a rainbow, there must be a storm.” I love this, its so true. Very beautiful words and well written. Thank you
What a coincidence, it’s raining here in Nepal and reading this post with the sound of rain patting. I loved the way you related the rain, storm and rainbows with the life struggle and situation.
This is so very true and like the weather hard times do pass so here is hoping for a better 2021 x
Nature is so beautiful. But you’re right — especially after a storm.
Thank you for the reminder. Sometimes it’s just hard during this pandemic how life has changed.
Completely agree with you, in order to have a rainbow, there must be a storm….. currently going through my spiritual awakening and it’s wonderful journey 🙂
That rainbow was gorgeous! We all weather storms but perspective is key to withstand them and get through it!!
Great reminder! There’s always amazing sunsets after storms. Thank you for this post, really needed it 🙂
What a beautiful example and reminder that there is always the sun after the storm! Great for 2020!
Everything does pass. Thank you so much for sharing this positivity with us!
I love that you were practicing mindfulness. You reflected inwards how the storm was making you feel. With how you described everything I could visually see the storm with you. You know because I am in Tampa as well. lol
Amen to that. Our God is faithful. This was just what I needed to read right now. There is a rainbow after a storm.

This is true. Gloomy or bad days will end, too.
I love storms before, during, and the freshness of after.
I have never gone through a storm but with your blog it was kind of virtual experience. Thank you for sharing!
Very inspirational. Thank you.
