Rainbows

It seems that God just won't let me forget what He's promised me.

Just recently I've seen maybe four or five rainbows. That's very unusual to me.

The other day I was feeling down and looked out my kitchen window. There before me was the biggest rainbow I've ever seen. Just beautiful! It was like God reaching down and gently reminding me what He promised from the very beginning of this cancer journey with my mom. He promised He would never leave me. No matter what happened, He would be there.

Some days I don't feel like praying. Some days I don't feel like doing anything. But even then He doesn't leave me.

I'm learning that God is even more amazing than I ever thought, and I had a pretty high opinion of Him before.

It's pretty amazing that when I'm at my lowest, He reaches down and just loves on me. At times I can feel myself being held by Him.

Jennifer: Tonight at church several called you and Javier's name out in prayer. God is calling you to Him. Follow Him where He leads.

Jenny - so funny you mention rainbows. We see them ALL OF THE TIME now (since my father in law passed). The night he passed, I asked for a sign and there was a rainbow around a giant full moon. Yesterday was his would be birthday (and Ally's) and there was a lunar eclipse my MIL and me saw that was spectacular. She felt it was a sign too.

Anyway, I hope your mom is comforted by how many people love her and pray for her. God Bless.

Jennifer,
I've been reading your blog and praying for you and your entire family. I have had such a burden for you many, many times since this situation has come to your mom. I remember a time (since we've been in the ministry) that I was at a very low spot. I was making the bed one morning; no one was at home but me. I was crying and praying so very diligently! I truly felt the Presence of the Holy Spirit fill the room. Such a strong Presence! I knew then, that if I lost everything--yet had the Presence of God--I could and would make it. I cannot tell you how serious my situation was at the time. I felt so desperate. But God came, ministered to me, and held me. This was such a landmark in my Christian walk, and I've been saved for 39 years:) Keep allowing the Lord to build faith in your heart! I'm praying God will give you whatever you need to shine His light! I'm so proud of your family's response to a terribly difficult situation. I love you, and I'm truly intervening for your family!

P.S. I was so glad you remembered me:) Someday I'll have to share my "miracle baby" testimony:) with you!
