The Faithful One

There was a light drizzle of rain in the afternoon before we left for our outdoor photo session. On the car ride there, the sun was shining through pillows of clouds and a beautiful rainbow painted the sky. It was an ever so sweet and fitting reminder of how faithful God has been to my growing family.

God stands behind every single promise He has ever spoken. He always comes through, though the wait may feel like a marathon—He always comes through.

By the time we started our photo shoot, it was breezy with gray clouds overhead and my freshly curled hair blew all over the place. Rain drops trickled down towards the beginning and I was just hoping it didn’t downpour on us. Thankfully it didn’t.

I’m taken by the light and had been praying during the week for pretty light for our photos—and the sun eventually glistened again, giving us a beautiful backdrop for our last round of photos.

The mixture of weather reminded me in some ways of the road to getting here.

There were many gray sky days and teardrops as we waited. There were also days when glimmers of light shone through, because the Lord offers a peace that passes our human understanding and relief from the weight of our circumstances.

Eventually, what we waited and prayed for became a reality before my eyes as I gazed in wonder at two pink lines. It was like the rainbow after the storm—the beautiful promise that God is faithful and that He can make a way where it seems like there is no way.

My King made a way for us, and for that—

I’m forever grateful.

And His way is the most beautiful way, because there is no flaw in Him.

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” ~ Ephesians 3:20 {NLT}
