God Sent Me A Rainbow
I spent the day with tired eyes and a heavy heart. I knew this day was going to land on the Costa Rica trip, but I also knew that there was no way I could plan for how I would handle it. One year ago today my grandpa died and believe me, six hours on a bus is definitely enough time to think about it.
Before getting on the bus to begin our long journey our group stopped at a waterfall for some swimming and photography. The walk down seemed to take hours, the steps were so steep that is felt like you could fall down them all with just one wrong step. There were a couple look out points on the path so youc ould see the waterfall and get a taste of the prize below.
Once I finally reached the bottom I sat on the bench with a sigh of relief. But what was waiting for me around the corner was my real prize, a gift from God. As I walked towards the waterfall I saw it. As the waterfall crashed in the water below, a mist belew off to the side and from that mist a rainbow was formed.
Now to the rest of our group, I am sure it was an exciting and beautiful thing, but to me it was an answer to prayer.
My grandpat used to always tell my sister and I that his favorite color was "all of the colors of the rainbow." So before we even left for Central America, I asked God to send me a rainbow on this day. It was just His wonderful and amazing way of saying "I care about the small stuff Courtney, it will all be okay."
