I was driving into College Station from Houston last week and experienced the craziest weather! Above me was this overcast gloomy darkness… The clouds above me…and out in front were black… but right underneath the clouds and ahead of me… it was bright blue with white fluffy clouds… You can see a little of the clouds on the right…
And to the left of me… was the sun setting… and it looked as though it was setting on the earth and kicking up dust… and illuminating that entire part of the sky in this beautifully eerie way…
Then it started raining… and I’m not entirely sure how I wasn’t ALL over the road… I mean…I was looking everywhere… opening my sunroof “visor”… to see above me… to the left… straight ahead… and then… I look to the right. And I see this.
Areyoukiddingme?!
I slam on my breaks. Find a random driveway. (It happened to be the driveway to the Brazos Valley Equine Hospital in case you need your horse doctored up… there ya go!). I turn in… jump out of me car, in the rain… grabbed my camera, switched my lenses and frantically started shooting…I fly through life, often missing a lot of moments… but…
I DIDN’T WANT TO MISS THIS MOMENT!
So I stand there…The wind: crazy… My doors: slamming… Rain: slapping me in the face… and I’m feeling a little bit like Dorothy in the Wizzard of Oz when she was being tossed through the tornado when she clicked her heals… (except I didn’t click my heals and I wasn’t wearing ruby red slippers). Ha! Anyway… I stood there Aaaaa-mazed! I mean really?!? I was in Maui in December and we saw 7 rainbows… and a couple of double rainbows… but I don’t think any of them were quite as magnificent as this! I remember wishing we had sunrises and rainbows like we saw in Maui… And lo and behold.. God gave it to me! IN A PRETTY BIG WAY! 
I keep looking at these images and kept help but think they symbolize something! The gloomy but sunny… The black clouds… but the orange falling onto them… The STORM…and the rainbow… It left me speechless.
So I am curious… Do you feel like this symbolizes anything for you? I want to know! Leave a comment below and share!

susan livingston - Sure! It means when the storms of life come, when we’re feeling like we’re under a cloud . . .there is always a light in the darkness – He is always with us, never leaving or forsaking us. So, we should keep our eyes up, remembering His promises and that we are the children of the King!January 30, 2010 – 10:11 pm
