Thank GOD for the rainbows!!!

So much to say....so much to catch up on.....but right now just SO thankful beyond words that the Lord has looked down and given our friends the rainbow they've been waiting for!!! The news is still developing but CRYMSON IS HOME!!!!!! (Read here if you are clueless to what this means :))

Tonight was one of those times when you KNEW God had a plan and FELT it to the core of your soul! Rejoice is all I can say!!!

Rainbows are precious. I never thought about it this way until this post from Amy. These words described everything I felt after we lost Olivia and then were surprised by Ellie Kate but couldn't put into words. This post helped me wrap my brain around all the conflicting emotions I was drowning in at the time. Ever since then, rainbows are our "thing". Storms may come, but they bring the rainbows. In just about everything in life - this holds true. I remember posting to Crystal that surely God had a rainbow for them in some way...............

Thank GOD for the rainbows!! They are even sweeter after storms.........
