I'm excited about starting this blog! I have always enjoyed journaling. In fact, when I was a little girl I remember writing/drawing in a pretty sparkly journal with a unicorn on the front. I never really liked the unicorn. I just liked the sparkly part.
While taking Will on a walk last Monday night, the 39th storm of the season was about to blow through. So, I started running back to our house and I was forced to stop. I could not believe my eyes. In fact, I was wishing we were in West Texas where skies are endless. The sky was dark except for a ray of sunlight pointing directly at the tall pine trees in our backyard. All the sudden, a rainbow formed a half circle in the sky right before my eyes. I pushed Will in our driveway, started shouting for Tony to check it out, and ran into the house for the camera. I was hoping the batteries were still fresh so I could get a good shot. I ran right back to the front yard with camera and camcorder in hand.
Will was looking at me like I lost my head. So, I picked him up and started telling him about God's RAINBOW! Tony held him while I got some more shots. The rainbow started moving with the weather. So, I moved with it! I even ran down to our neighbor's house so she and her girls could see it.
I thank God for his display of majesty that Monday night! I was having a rough weekend/day. I'm VERY glad he decided to show me his awesome definition of PEACE.
So, for now I'm calling my blog "Over the Rainbow". I like thinking that my life is like that Monday night walk. Even in those dark and scary times, God has shown me peace in a way that He only can.
