Echo

When you pack all of your things and your room is mostly empty it echos. It is a lonely sound. I final sound. I have heard the sound many times as I have moved frequently over the last 5 years. This time is different though...

I got a voicemail from Carole this morning. She called me yesterday to tell me about a rainbow they were seeing on the way home from Austin. I love rainbows. I seem to see them whenever I am needing reminding of God's love. I guess because in the Bible, a rainbow is the sign of God's promise. Even though I didn't see this rainbow it reminded me of God's presence in my life. I know that over the next few weeks I will need his love and strength more than ever.

As I move my things into my new apartment I will replace the echos of the next few days with all of my things. Echos don't last when a room is full of things. Just as lonliness doesn't last when you are filled with God's love!
