Life isn’t about how you survive the storm, it’s about learning to dance in the rain. 🙌
You never know the entirety of anyone’s story. There may not be one person who knows every demon they’ve battled, every destructive season they’ve survived, or every darkness they’ve walked through.
Years ago, a coworker and “friend” said to me,
“I’m not all love and light like you.”
Oh, sister…you have no idea.
My light doesn’t mean I’ve never known darkness.
My joy doesn’t mean my life has been easy.
And my love doesn’t mean I haven’t been deeply hurt.
This is all God. 🙌
Because without Him, the darkness could have taken me apart. But He met me there, held me together, and taught me how to dance in the rain.
And now, when I look around and see women of every generation gathering, laughing, dancing, and feeling safe enough to be themselves, I know this is so much bigger than what others may see.
People may only see women having fun.
But if they only knew the stories held in that room…
the storms survived…
the cycles being broken…
and the generations of trauma being healed.
When women feel safe, we soften. We exhale. We remember our joy. We remind one another that the darkness does not get the final word.
Creating these spaces is more than my work.
It’s my calling.
It’s sacred.
It’s ministry. 🥹
We don’t dance because there was never a storm.
We dance because, with God, the storm doesn’t get to win. ✝️
