Still More ... Rainbows Are Everywhere!

OK, so Monday I walked, and received the pictures from God in my head to go with the song. Tuesday morning, I saw the rainbow on the way to work. The story continues ...

On Friday, we had heavy rain (to the point where our street was flooded up to our sidewalk - I've never seen it THAT high before!). Almost immediately after it stopped raining, the sun came out, and I knew there would be a rainbow - sure enough! I went back in to grab my phone, and tried to take a picture, but of course, the camera wasn't working right, and I had to reboot my phone. By the time it powered back on, the rainbow had almost completely faded (it was a quick one). I got a picture, but not a very good one.

Saturday morning, I went to the Art and Spirit event at the church. One of the activities they had for us involved making a beaded bracelet. The bracelet was to help us remember Psalm 23, and used each color of the rainbow for a different verse - I had never thought of this Psalm in this way! The bracelet turned out gorgeous, of course.

That evening, after dinner, Morgan was gone and the guys were downstairs, so I decided to have my quiet time in a bubble bath (love to do this!). During this time of talking and listening to God and my iPod, I came to the realization that God had sent me TWO rainbows this week, on the heels of my mind's picture! On that Monday, I had the idea that I needed to put together the music with my own videos of the rainbows I've seen, but I don't have any videos, so I put that thought aside. On this night, however, I realized God wants me to make these videos! Of course, I couldn't videotape while I was driving, but it was just a little part of one - an intro, I believe. Friday's incident with my camera not working was God's way of telling me "video, not still photo." Right there in the bathtub, I told God, "Yes, Lord, with Your help."

Sunday morning, as I was getting ready in the bathroom for church, I was listening to the radio, as usual. And what do you think was one of the readings for the church service that was playing at the time?

¹² Then God said, “I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come. ¹³ I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth. ¹⁴ When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds, ¹⁵ and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life. ¹⁶ When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.” ¹⁷ Then God said to Noah, “Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth.”

Gen. 9:12-17

I thought things were a little better last night, but we had a setback this morning. God still has much work to do in me and in him as well, but I am still praying for little Abigail ... "Joy of the Father" ...
