Have you ever seen a rainbow in the distance and wondered how long it would take to reach it? \u201cAm I almost there?\u201d \u201cWhere does it start?\u201d \u201cWhere does it end?\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I had just dropped Jacob<\/span>, my son,<\/span>\u00a0at Temple Day School and was not having a very good morning. After getting in the car, I started crying and wishing I could just go home. Needing to get to work<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0I entered the highway and headed to Beaumont on Highway 69. Just as I turned the corner by the 73\/69 clover\u00a0<\/span>leaf,<\/span>\u00a0I spotted a rainbow in the distance. Immediately my tears\u00a0<\/span>cleared,<\/span>\u00a0and I began to think to\u00a0<\/span>myself that<\/span>\u00a0maybe the day wasn\u2019t going to be so bad.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As I continued down 69<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0close to Central Mall, the rainbow seemed to be getting brighter and brighter. Right as I went over Jimmy Johnson - I drove right through the rainbow!\u00a0<\/span>THROUGH IT!<\/span><\/b>\u00a0The beginning and the end - my car, my tears, my uncertainty went\u00a0<\/span>through<\/span>\u00a0the rainbow. I had this chill - shock of emotion come over me.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I had to pull over to the side of the highway to take a breath - feeling a sensation of calm and peace - an overwhelming understanding the He was covering me - taking my beginning and end and creating this beautiful rainbow. Reminding me of His timing for my day. Reminding me He would take over and that if I trusted Him it would all be o.k.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When getting to my office, I quickly google \u201cbible verses about rainbows\u201d with Genesis 9:16 popping up -\u00a0 \"<\/span>Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

God has\u00a0<\/span>placed<\/span>\u00a0a covenant between us - He will always be with us - especially in those times of tears and uncertainty. Just as many of you - I stand in awe at rainbows - their beginning and end - and mostly\u00a0<\/span>their<\/span>\u00a0in between - always wondering who will drive through like I did. Continue to look toward the rainbows<\/strong> -<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
