Just a reminder...

We have lots of rain here in Germany.  LOTS of rain!  We actually get excited when we see the sun...because at times it seems so rare.

Lately we've had some nice evening thundershowers.  I enjoy thunderstorms here...no threat of anything really severe, which is a nice change from OK weather.  We usually have some lightning and thunder, a little wind, and a lot of rain...and then it moves on. 

Twice lately after our evening thundershower, we have spotted a double rainbow.  Once we were on the road, but the other evening we were at home and I could grab the camera.

I love rainbows...God's promise.  I think its been clear that this move has been hard on us as a family, and we still aren't feeling like we fit in.  We are having a hard time finding our place in our new world, and because we have really struggled to find a church, it has seemed hard to find God over here.  It's a far cry from Edmond, where we were surrounded by Christian friends, a great church, and a great pastor.

But, God is here!  We know that!  We still believe there is a plan and a purpose for us being here.  And even though we are struggling to see that plan and purpose, we get these reminders that God is great, and he keeps his promises.  So for now we will enjoy these beautiful rainbows, and continue searching...
