Can't rain all the time

It's been an unusual rainy summer this year.

I've never minded the rain.  I usually like a good summer thunderstorms every now and again. 
I was recently thinking about how our spiritual lives can really mimic the weather. 

Sometimes we shine so bright much like a warm spring or summer day. We live out our faith with bold colors and a cheerful simile.

Sometimes we just want to stay bundled up trying to warm like a chilly winter day.
Sometimes we go through blizzards, tornados or even hurricanes.  Everything is off, we can't seem to get out of a trial or tribulation.

And then there's just all the rainy days.  We know that the rain is critical in the plant cycle but at times we're tired of being wet and soggy.

God uses weather analogies throughout scripture, as he is the creator of it all.  Noah, Moses, Jonah etc... all had difficulties with weather.  He uses water just as often.  

Jesus was able to walk on water and tell the storm to stop... By telling it to hush

I know it can't rain all the time but sometimes no matter how many times we tell the storm to hush it's just keeps storming ...
