beginning to think this is very true…

covenant in the sky

it’s been a weird day here in colorado springs. most of the day has been cold, cloudy and rainy. as i was leaving work the sun was peeking out as the rain continued to fall. the most stunning rainbows were appearing everywhere in the sky. in my short drive home i saw at least 4 different rainbows. i began reflecting on the covenant god made with us never to send another flood to destroy the earth…

8 Then God spoke to Noah and his sons:

9 “I’m setting up my covenant with you including your children who will come after you,

10 along with everything alive around you—birds, farm animals, wild animals—that came out of the ship with you.

11 I’m setting up my covenant with you that never again will everything living be destroyed by floodwaters; no, never again will a flood destroy the Earth.”

12 God continued, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and everything living around you and everyone living after you.

13 I’m putting my rainbow in the clouds, a sign of the covenant between me and the Earth.

14 From now on, when I form a cloud over the Earth and the rainbow appears in the cloud,

15 I’ll remember my covenant between me and you and everything living, that never again will floodwaters destroy all life.

16 When the rainbow appears in the cloud, I’ll see it and remember the eternal covenant between God and everything living, every last living creature on Earth.”

17 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I’ve set up between me and everything living on the Earth.”
Gen 9:8-17 (MSG)

i was able to catch a few shots of the rainbows hanging in the sky…

from bad to good…

this has helped my bad mood lift. is there anything better than a baby’s laugh???

door closed

as i’ve shared in a previous post, listening to god has been the most important “habit” that i’ve been learning recently. i’m scared to even call it a habit because it’s so much more than that.

for the past 3 weeks i’ve been praying about buying a house here in colorado springs. the dialogue has been interesting with no clear cut answer emerging. because i didn’t hear “no” i proceeded thinking that during the process a door would close. tonight it did. the seller called me to say they accepted an offer from a family tonight. while i am slightly disappointed, i would not trade this journey for anything. i’ve never approached a decision with the determination to clearly hear from god. it’s crazy because i began to feel uneasy about this decision for the first time this morning. it was hard to know if it was because i was getting closer to signing on the dotted line. obviously that was a check because the door was about to close. i’m grateful because i have a beautiful place to live and will have the opportunity to save money by not buying the house.

fortunately i didn’t get attached to the house, but i did get more attached to my heavenly father.
