During a neurofeedback therapy appointment I had experienced the—common for me—painful, devastating, extremely sad, terrorizing effects of trauma I have survived which left me shaking, unable to function, open my eyes or talk as I was taken back to the awful experiences and was “re-living” the physical feelings, overpowering emotions and terror within me as my body did what it needed to work on “moving out” some of the trauma that’s been stored within my body for many, many years. Each day is very challenging for me and these frequent experiences leave me feeling so overwhelmed, extremely bad and scared even though I know working to free myself of the awful effects of trauma is necessary for my ongoing healing, growth and recovery process.
Throughout the 1 1/2 hour drive home from my neurofeedback appointment that day I was thankful to be able to see and pay attention to the beauty of the rain, storm clouds and the captivating sunset. While my husband drove us down our gravel road it was raining. As we sat in the driveway I looked across the corn field next to the edge of the yard and saw a rainbow. After a moment I managed to grab my camera, walk in the rain to the edge of the field as I admired the huge double rainbow and tried to capture what I saw. The rainbow was so large that I couldn’t fit it in one frame—it took 4 pictures with my 25mm lens to capture the bold arc of the double rainbow. It was such an encouraging sight to see this beautiful, big, bright rainbow. A love note from God saying and showing me that as He promised, He is faithful. It was like the few tears of deep sadness and unspeakable pain I had managed to cry earlier had formed into a breathtaking creation of hope.
While this mashup of images is not perfectly put together, it still has deep meaning to me. The imperfections and roughness of this conglomeration of photos really seems to align with the devastating, unspeakable, traumatic circumstances I never would have chosen for myself—there are still beautiful, pleasant, hopeful moments even among the awful circumstances…found through an openness and mindfulness in watching for those moments.

Remember, when life has you
flat on your back, you are
looking in the right direction.
Don't allow life's circumstances to bring you down! Instead of dwelling on your circumstances a day fixing your eyes on them, turn your gaze toward the cross and Jesus where He gave it all for you! Fix your eyes on Him! He's alive and is your strength and shield. He is your mighty fortress!
Let's pray for each other that we will do this no matter what comes our way!
