Hiking a Middle Rainbow

     The air was misty. I stepped onto the porch and started walking to my car.  The I saw my second rainbow of late. I could see the ends, but the middle was buried in the clouds. I longed to see the middle of the rainbow, just as I long to see God's plan for me.  Addison Road's song, "Change in the Making" really speaks to my current situation:
                                                 This is redemption's story
                                                 With every step that I'm taking
                                                 Everyday you're chipping away
                                                 What I don't need
                                                 This is me under construction
                                                 This is my pride being broken
                                                 And everyday I'm closer to who I'm meant to be
                                                  I'm a change in the making

Ready to hike?  Let's go!

  Genesis 9:12-13 reads :  And God said, "This is a sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:  I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth." Our God is the Majestic Creator of the galaxies, the planets and the spectacular beauty of nature. He is also our faithful, personal God.  I have a sneaking suspicion that the miraculous is more common than we believe.   I am hiking a challenging path.  It's steep in parts, but it does have breathtaking views.  My backpack has tissues, lip balm, water, snacks and a photo of my son. There's something rolling around in the bottom. It's round. It's tiny. It's my faith, the size of  a mustard seed.  It may be my most fragile, most important asset.  Tolkien wrote: "Not all who wander are lost."  Carry on.

Don't forget to bring the  faith.
