I was not disappointed, it was awful...just as I expected.
With no explainable reason. My soul felt like a crushed bug...desperate to run
and fly, but unable. My creative rainbows trying to burst through my fingertips
shattered before they met the sky. My excited brain to embark on a journey felt
like it had been frozen overnight and then smashed with a heavy mallet.
I was in need of something to inspire me...and I was in need
of it fast. After being tugged along by the invisible rope of hope through the
day...the rope that was slowly unraveling and slipping through my
fingers...I was ready to crash and await a new day that would rise with the
sunrise. But it was not time yet...and so, for peace of mind, I grabbed my
camera desperately and rushed out side in hopes of something to save my sanity.
The second I stepped outside...raindrops splashed on my face
and the thunderclouds rolled in.
“Great....”
But then I noticed a colorful splash of color on the
horizon. It looked like an artist had poured hues of orange and red together in
a colorful spread, it was stunning. I ran like a mad woman to the edge of the
driveway to snap pictures quickly before the photo disappeared from my grasp.
With one hand covering the lens from disastrous raindrops and the other busy
with the camera, I had a moment of peace. Satisfied...I turned around to rush
back into the house....and then I stopped in my tracks. A huge, double rainbow
gleamed majestically above my house....stretching across the sunset lit sky
like an imaginary dream come to life. I, of course, had to chase it down and
catch it. So I ran...in the opposite direction. I ran as fast as I could, and
before I knew it I had cleared 1/3 mile and run across three fields. I was now
drenched, my hair was wind swept all over my face, my flipflops were
practically mud cubes...but it was worth it.
I stood...the wind whipping across my face, slashing my
clothing with its soft fingertips and curling it’s tentacles through every
follicle of hair and every cell of bare skin. The rain softly sprinkled
down...lining the trees and foliage with a light, velvety covering. The rainbow
stretched across the horizon....the sunset gleamed like a bright miracle ready
to fly as far as it can go.
God had given me the most inspiring, awe catching
experience....and it made my entire day worth it.
Now as you all have noticed, my pictures on my blog have suddenly
disappeared. That is because, I just discovered yesterday, I accidentally
deleted them all. I can’t get them back. SO...stick with me for a few more days
as I fish through the never ending
hole called ‘I-photo’ for my logo... *shudder*
Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the
day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. Such was the
appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And
when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking. –
Ezekiel 1:28
