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.. :)
