Chasing Rainbows

Some people figure out what they want to do at an early age and never stray from that path. I've never been one of those people. I tend to go from one adventure to another, one job to another, doing the work I can find in whatever place God leads me and I love it! That's how I live my life and I'm okay with that. Here's the thing though there's always going to be people who look at that kind of life and shake their heads 'cause they don't get it, and that's all right. But sometimes when they ask me what I'm doing and it's always a different thing then the last time they asked they kind of give you that look that says 'What are you doing with your life?'

So next time someone asks what you're doing with your life here's a new kind of response to give them. Tell them "I'm chasing rainbows!" And when they give you that confused look give them this explanation.

A rainbow was God's promise to Noah that He would never again flood the entire earth. Today it's still a reminder to us not just of that promise but of all the promises that God has made to us. Including the promise in Matthew 6:33 "Seek first my kingdom and my righteousness and all these things shall be given unto you."

Chasing rainbows means trust God to provide for us wherever He sends us. If he sends me to Timbuktu to work in a coffee shop He'll take care of me there, if He sends me to Africa to work as a safari guide (I'll have to get over my fear of snakes!) He'll take care of me there. All I have to do is trust Him to send me where He wants me and to take care of me wherever that is.

So my life goal is chasing rainbows and you know what? That's okay! Maybe your rainbow is a wonderful career, maybe it's raising a family or maybe it's working odd jobs, whatever your rainbow is just enjoy it and keep trusting Him and trusting His promises!
