Rainbow of Redemption
As I was walking around the track at DCHS, several of us noticed a rain cloud hovering over Lookout Mtn. As I walked back around the track to face the mountain again, I saw that the rain cloud had not moved at all--it was raining in the same spot--the exact same path from the April 27, 2011 EF3 tornado that tore through Jackson County, AL, came ripping through Dade County, over Lookout Mtn. and on to Flintstone, GA. And right in the middle was the biggest, brightest rainbow I have ever seen. This picture does not begin to compare to the real thing! Shortly after, the rain went away and the rainbow continued for a long while. There was another close by. Rarely do you see a double rainbow, and never have I seen one in that particular spot. I know several people in Trenton saw it--there were plenty of pics on FB that confirm it! For the ones of us who saw it, and where it was.....I believe that we were the lucky ones who caught a glimpse of not just a rainbow, but a promise from God. Sometimes you feel like God is nowhere to be found. You are calling out to Him, and hear nothing in return. You can't feel His hand on you, and don't remember the last time He showed you something. Well, today my friends, I believe that God smiled on us.
Thank-you for reminding us that God is true to His promises. How often do I forget! A year and a half ago God promised me complete healing. Even though the manifestation is not complete, I know it is coming. My body just makes me forget sometimes. What is it with you and rainbows? The last time I saw a rainbow as beautiful as this one was in 2008. I was on the phone with you while coming home from work. I was worried that I would not get the promotion I so very much wanted. And, suddenly I saw the most beautiful rainbow. You could see every color in it! It must have stretched from one end of Ft. O to the other. And, at that very same time you said to me, "God is faithful". I'm hear to say, that didn't happen by accident! So glad you started this blog!
