Experiencing God

It is amazing what you can see when you take the time to slow down for a little bit and put your time in God's hands. For one I can't believe I have let a few days pass before blogging about this. Last week I was having a really hard week personally. Just me not being right to myself. Judging myself and not happy where things were. Because in my mind it did not line up with my plan in life, needing to take a step back and reexamine God's plan for my life.
I am now finishing up week 2 in a new Bible Study called Experiencing God. Not motivated to do my reading for it on Thursday I decided I needed to make a "date" with God. I put it in my calendar and set aside 2 hours to just be with God on Saturday. I went to the local park found a secluded area to be alone. Just me, my study, my Bible and God.

I spend time in prayer and tried just being then started doing my study. With about 40 minutes left in my time I set aside (I knew I needed to stay at least 2 hours more if I felt like it) and still feeling frustrated I laid down and just looked up and around at the trees and listening to the sounds just talking to God. I looked in the sky (which was completely sunny & only white puffy clouds) there was a rainbow, I took my sunglasses off to get a better look and it was gone. I was in such disbelief. Put my sunglasses back on and it was there again with what looked like a little rainbow coming off the one side of it. I lost it tears streaming and knew this was from God. A sign of hope that I am going in the right direction. Hope that as long as I follow Him I am on the right path.

After this I had a very refreshed feeling and a "bounce" in my step. I really wanted to share with anyone that would understand. It is amazing what taking the time and just being still does for the soul. I can honestly say that Saturday I Experienced God.
God is so good ALL the time. And can't wait to see what else this study will teach me.
