Rainbows are starting to appear in our Colorado skies as the weather turns from snow (which we just had 4 days ago) and into rain. Colorado is one of the most "sunshiniest" states (we land in the top 10) and so chances are good that when we get rain the sun is also shining and creates rainbows. So as rainbows are showing up in our skies I find myself being grateful for their appearance. 1) I am always fascinated by them - especially the double ones and the really bright ones. 2) As cheesy or as "Christianese" as it may sound they do remind me of promises made and kept by the One who made me and keeps me. Scoff if you want but I know what I know. Specifically in my 30's God made a lot of promises to me and he has kept every single one. And he promised in Genesis 9 God sets a rainbow in the skies as a sign that he will stay true to the promise he made to never flood the entire earth again. So the rainbow is specifically a reminder of God's covenant promise to never flood the whole earth again but when I see it I also know it serves as a reminder that every promise he makes he keeps. He can't not keep them! Sometimes I forget that and when I see a rainbow I am reminded. I'm so grateful for God's reminders.
I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
