The most incredible thing just happened to me. This past year I've been struggling a lot with feeling spiritually connected. The belief system is there, but due to circumstantial stuff, etc, I've felt like my heart hasn't truly be in it. Lately I've been putting an immense amount of effort into really trying to talk to God and connect with Him, and be the kind of person I know I can be. Today, for whatever reason, my eyes have really been opened to what God is doing in my heart... just realizing how I've been changing as a person, in how I'm responding to people, and the way I look at the world. It's just been extremely put on my heart today. All along, I've been praying for some sort of sign, almost unconsciously, just some indication that God wants to feel that connection to me as badly as I do to him. Driving back from spending time with my parents in North Bend just now, I pulled on to the road home and looked up in the sky, where there was one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen... Rainbows everywhere. Three rainbows stacked on top of one another, rainbows to the right and left of that, rainbows all over the sky. And it just hit me like a ton of bricks: Rainbows, God's promise to mankind. So specific and literal that even though I know all about the physics and science of rainbows, I can't help but feel that it was just for me, a reassurance that nothing will ever be the same. Amazing.
