We did something insane. (We have been doing that a lot lately.) I turned my phone off for a week and we took a vacation to Key West, Florida.
Yesterday we went on a sunset sail we decided to sit in the back by the captain steering the schooner, less people. I had a heavy heart over the decisions we were in the middle of making. I had been in fear for several days over some possibilities we have been weighing over. We had dreamed up an idea to run a non profit school and call it “A Place for Misfits” I felt at peace every time I went on my knees praying earnestly about this idea but the night before last 3am in the morning I decided to ask God if we could do something else. I just couldn’t get myself out of fear over it. The possible small town gossip & the naysayers got to me and it was too much.
So here we are on a boat in the middle of the ocean off of the Florida Keys & Matthew mentions to me we didn’t get the HELOC approved. I felt relief then a heavy now what? I buried myself in Matthew’s shoulder. A few minutes had past and I over heard the captain say “God is really trying to get someone’s attention with this rainbow” I look up and no joke I see the biggest boldest rainbow I have ever seen overhead. It was glorious. It was for ME! God was trying to get MY attention. It was as if He was saying “I got you, everything is going to be alright.” When our ship was sailing into the harbor we were able to hear the local bands playing we heard “ Every little thing is gonna to be alright” (“Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley) then “Faith” by George Micheals. We smiled at each other recognizing a second witness from God in the words to the music playing. God has us! God knows! God will continue to guide & provide as He has been doing all along. Thank you God I love you!
