Our Rainbow...

A rainbow is a symbol that God gave us to remind us of His promise to never flood the earth again (Genesis 9). Whenever I see a rainbow I always think about that. It's exciting to me to be able to SEE God speaking to us and reminding us that He is faithful and we can trust Him.

For several years, we have driven past Vineyard Avenue on the 60 freeway. We have seen an empty piece of land be slowly transformed into the new Kaiser Permanente Ontario Vineyard Medical Center. About the same time they started building, Jace and I started praying. Jace was in school for his Doctorate in Physical Therapy, I was working to pay the bills, we were anxious to start our family, and there were a lot of unknowns in our future.

Slowly but surely, God began to answer each prayer, one at a time. Internships, exams, housing, job offers, income, benefits, kids, and most recently, the location where Jace works. For the five years that we drove past the Kaiser construction site we prayed specifically for many things. The building was a reminder to us to pray and trust God with our future. Now that the hospital is completed and Jace is working there, it has changed from a reminder to pray to a reminder to be thankful! Every time we drive past (which is several times a week for me and well, every day for Jace!), it's a symbol we can SEE that reminds us God is faithful and we can trust Him. And we are so thankful!
