Sometimes in life we find ourselves facing dark times as we get caught in the storms of life. Feeling alone, we wonder how we will survive the storm. But we hold on with everything we have, battling all that is thrown our way. Weathering the storm, we use our inner strength, courage, and determination to beat it as we stay true to ourselves. The good thing is that after every storm, the sun shines again and we see our beautiful rainbow of hope in the sky. Seeing the rainbow, we know we've survived yet another hard time in our life and that we are stronger because of it.
