Change in Rhythm

I’m sorry I’ve been missing for the last few weeks but as soon as I decided to enjoy a quiet summer, my son announced that he’s getting married. In August. This year. On the 15th. My restful summer is becoming a joyful summer, as well as a quickly paced summer.

Dwayne had weddings each weekend this month. Last weekend, I visited my folks with Aaron and Jess so we could attend the family reunion. We had a wonderful time. Driving home, we drove into rain and saw a whole rainbow. It fell all the way to the ground. We drove for an hour or so enjoying the rainbow (as well as its shining double). We could see each color in the spectrum because of it’s brilliance.

In Genesis 9, God spoke to Noah, saying: And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh shall not be cut off again by the waters of a flood; nor shall there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the sign of the covenant which I am about to make between Me and you, and every living soul which is with you, for everlasting generations: I have set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

It helps me to remember that God loves me and takes care of me when I get overwhelmed with life. Sometimes I feel as though I’m drowning in duty and responsibility. He watches over me and I was glad to be reminded in a tangible way of His everlasting love.
