My Rainbow

Somedays I feel like I am in the middle of a storm, I can't get my barring no matter how hard I try to find the safest place to be and to hold on tight, the storm is big and rages out if control.  that is what an Autistic tantrum can feel like, now think about a storm that goes on for days, and days, it can be exhausting. Can you imagine how Noah felt during those 40 days? the good news at the end of that storm, God promised that a storm like that would never happen again (Genesis 9:11) and he also gave Noah and his family the gift of the rainbow (Genesis 9:13) to remind them of his promise. When I see a rainbow I always think about that promise,i see it is as symbol of a fresh start.
This last sunday I had a rainbow come to life in my little girl. Pieper loves music and dancing, on some sundays she will twirl around in front of the stage, she has tried to get up on the stage so many times, she has made it to the mic a handful of times and said a hello to everyone, but this last week she made it up on stage during worship, while the worship teem was singing, and she started dancing, twirling and jumping around, it was so cute, I should tell you that Pieper has a very special relationship with one of the girls that sings in our worship band, and it was like they were preforming a number that had been rehearsed, it was a big hit, everyone seemed to love it. For me it was even more special, it was coming at the end of what had been a very hard month for us, Pieper had been going through a tuff time, and on Sunday, her dancing on that stage, with such joy in every step,she was praising the Lord with dance (Psalm 149:3) that was my rainbow at the end of our storm, it was Gods promise to me that he would bring me through every storm.
