God’s Promise
Written by: Jill Sheets
One night, after church choir, I decided to take a
walk to calm down. I was upset with the conversation that happened in the car
as we drove home. This has happened many times before. Typically I usually end
up not talking to anyone, even though I know that my family dislikes it when I
don't speak. I feel that if I do not say
anything, then I will not say something that I will regret later.
Even when I was younger, I would go for a walk down
the street when upset. Sometimes I would
push my luck and take a step farther each time.
I know my mom hated it, but I do not remember her saying anything about
me taking off and walking until I was older.
I got out of the car slamming the door and proceeded
to stomp down the sidewalk. I tried to process why I was agitated and if there
was really a reason for it. Maybe I was overreacting, which would not be the
first time and also might mean that I could be wrong.
As I walked I decide to pray. Even though I did not know what to say and I
was starting to get Fibro Fog. I managed to get out what I wanted to say even
though others may not have a clue what I was saying. But God did.
It was not raining, but once in a while, you would
feel a drop of water land on your head or your arms. I welcomed those sprinkles.
After I
prayed, I decided that I should head home. I turned around I saw this beautiful
rainbow in the sky. God’s promise, the one
He gave to Noah and his family after the flooding of the whole earth that He
would never do that again. I felt calmer
as I walked home. I had this feeling
that everything was going to be alright.
I now realize the reason I was upset didn’t
matter. I knew I would forget it, but I
would not forget the rainbow.
