Rainbow in My Sorrow

The holidays were really hard this year.
Even though I know God's promises are real, it's still comforting to see the reminders He sends—especially during the hardest times.

No matter how optimistic you are...
No matter how hard you try to carry yourself with faith and grace...
There are still some very hard days.

It’s heartbreaking to watch people you love suffer.

These past three years have been some of the hardest of my life—
Losing my daughter to cancer.
Now watching my mom battle the same disease.
My brother in a nursing home.
Some days, it’s just overwhelming.

Today was one of those days.

I sat in my car, crying—completely drained. And then, just like He always does, God sent me a sign.

Over the years, it’s been pennies in the oddest places.
Sometimes a cardinal or a dragonfly.
But today… it was a rainbow.
A big, beautiful rainbow stretching across the sky—right in the middle of my sorrow.

And once again, I was reminded:

God is still with me. His promises still stand.

Even on the hardest days, I can still be grateful.
Because one day—one glorious day—Joy will come and take away all my grief.
And I will see my sweet girl again.

Until then, I’ll keep looking for the signs…
And holding on to the One who sends them. 🌈
