Sunroofs and Rainbows

"I'm such a sucker for the sky..."

I probably recite that phrase a few times a week.. or at least think it. I would walk around campus and look up and sigh with amazement and comment on the sunset or the puffy clouds or the way the stars seemed in reaching distance and my faithful roommate would say... "we know, we know LG... you're such a sucker for the sky!" I would then have a ridiculous grin on my face and agree with her statement. 

On that note... I have to get a new car. (don't worry.. it does tie in. lol) And since I'm doing this whole "grown up" thing now.. I also get to pay for this new car! (blah). One of my requirements is a sunroof. I have been a brat and refused to get a new car without a sunroof. I also want a pretty color- a dark blue or black or white. So yesterday, I'm at the dealership... I'm torn between a white civic and a dark red accord (both complete with sunroofs). I tell the manager the only thing that holds me back from the accord is the color. He then proceeds to tell me about the same car that they just happened to receive that VERY day that was black. My face lit up, I briefly test drove it and told the car salesmen that I was sold. No doubt in my mind. That was the car for me. It started raining while we were test driving and continued to do so as I drove away.. but the sun was still shining. It had been doing this on and off all day and I could never find the rainbow. After leaving the dealership I pulled on the interstate and saw the most amazing rainbow I've ever seen in my life. It was not a complete arc but it did have the brightest and most vivid colors I've ever seen and it was HUGE! I felt like I really could find that dang pot of gold. It was absolutely incredible.. When I saw it my jaw dropped and I exclaimed with joy! (No really.. I did. out loud!)

If that's not God's favor on my life... I don't know what is. He loves me and knows me down to my obsession with the beautiful sky He created. He also knows that I secretly love these cheesy moments.. And He wants to give me my heart's desires.. even down to a sunroof and a rainbow.. :) 

Someone once told me...

Someone once told me that I should write a blog. That was yesterday. And that someone is Steph. An incredible woman of God who's made a HUGE impact in my life. She has recently started this blog thing. You should check hers out. www.spicklo.blogspot.com. 

So I entitled this LG's Musings because i rather enjoy the word "musings" and a lot of my friends call me LG. But only college friends, because all of my siblings first names start with L too. Soo.. that nickname doesn't work at home. There are 4 "LGs" in my house. But yeah. The word musings is defined as thoughts, especially when aimless and unsystematic. At first I thought, that definition is so me! But then, I decided it was not exactly. Yes, I am spontaneous and at times my thoughts can be aimless or unsystematic. But my life is not aimless. God has ordered my steps and I aim to have the mind of Christ. Therefore... my thoughts shouldn't be that particular definition of musings. So let's just go with "thoughts" and the fact that I enjoy the word. Ok. moving on... 

I have a feeling these posts have the potential to get rather lengthy. I'll stop for now. But just so you know my summer adventure begins in less than a week. STOKED! :)
