It reminds me of a song that I know... one of my favorites that I used to listen to on my mission when things got especially rough. Turns out the girl who sings it, Kathryn Nelson, was a friend of my trainers. Thought you might like the lyrics.
Sometimes He Lets It Rain:
She sees the storm clouds gather The sky is turning cold and gray She knows that something's coming When she starts to feel this way She pleads for intervention But heaven offers no relief And she would understand if she could only see that
Sometimes He lets it rain He lets the fierce winds blow Sometimes it takes a storm To lead a heart where it can grow He can move mountains of grief And oceans of pain But sometimes he lets it rain
When her heart surrenders To the Master in control Her spirit learns the lessons of the tempest in her soul When it's no longer raging She can see how far she's come Through the wisdom and the mercy of the Son
Sometimes He lets it rain He lets the fierce winds blow Sometimes it takes a storm To lead a heart where it can grow He can move mountains of grief And oceans of pain But sometimes he lets it rain
"The “good life” is not a “pleasure hunt.”If we want to be happy we must pursue happiness, not pleasure.The measure of a happy person is his ability to be tough with himself and tender with others.”(David O. McKay, Man May Know for Himself, pg. 246)

LOVE it. Thank you!
It's so great, huh? I heard it from a friend on Sunday. It was so good for me that day that I just had to share

Sometimes He Lets It Rain:
She sees the storm clouds gather
The sky is turning cold and gray
She knows that something's coming
When she starts to feel this way
She pleads for intervention
But heaven offers no relief
And she would understand if she could only see that
Sometimes He lets it rain
He lets the fierce winds blow
Sometimes it takes a storm
To lead a heart where it can grow
He can move mountains of grief
And oceans of pain
But sometimes he lets it rain
When her heart surrenders
To the Master in control
Her spirit learns the lessons of the tempest in her soul
When it's no longer raging
She can see how far she's come
Through the wisdom and the mercy of the Son
Sometimes He lets it rain
He lets the fierce winds blow
Sometimes it takes a storm
To lead a heart where it can grow
He can move mountains of grief
And oceans of pain
But sometimes he lets it rain
