What didn't show up terrifically in that picture, is that this was a double rainbow! I had never seen one before. This is the best picture I could get of the double, you can barely see it to the left of the main rainbow.
I'm usually not one for extreme cheesy-ness. But for whatever reason, this double rainbow, which was so maginficant streatching all the the way across the sky, was a huge comfort to me of how the Lord keeps is promises to us.
This is the beginning of the next stage of life for us, in many ways it is a stage that will continue for (hopefully) 40 years. As with most new beginnings, there is much apprehension of the unknown ahead. As we seek to balance work and the rest of life, and take on so many new roles - doctor, clinician, business owner, manager of people, motivator, educator - I frequently feel overwhelmed and afraid. There is still much to learn about dentistry, and what we do know is constantly changing with innovations in materials and methods, and there is also so much we are clueless about on the business aspect. And then every so often I remember the mountain of student debt we have accrued to get to this place... (breathe!). What a comfort to know that God, who is our loving heavenly Father, has promised to take care of us, and He will be with us and guide us every step of the way.
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. As it is written,
"He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever"
He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
2 Corinthians 9:8-11
And on a funny note, this rainbow reminded me of one of my favorite Youtube songify videos. All during 2nd year of dental school, Bryan and I would watch these videos instead of while studying.
