Many years ago, Chris and I were going through a very difficult trial that never seemed to end. At the darkest point we were extremely disappointed by some people we trusted. We wondered would this season ever change. Why weren’t our prayers being answered.
On a rainy day we were driving together. The sun emerged and seemed to chase the rain away. As I made a turn on a Bellflower street, we saw this amazing rainbow. I had never seen anything like it before or since. The colors were so bold and vibrant. Even though rainbows aren't supposed to have actual bands of colors, we saw clear separation between distinct bands of colors. It was breathtaking and without even saying anything to each other, Chris and I both, immediately, knew that we had witnessed a confirmation that God honors his promises.
Shortly after our rainbow sighting, things changed and our prayers were answered.
Now every time it rains I remember:
1. Rain must fall
2. God is faithful
3. A rainbow always follows the rain to remind us of number 2.
