I think this means things are going to be okay.

This morning when I woke up, I spotted a rainbow in my apartment.

The sun had shone through the peephole of my front door and cast a little circle of a rainbow on my white wall. A double rainbow.

Lately, it's been hard to keep my head up. Literally, by dozing off in class, and figuratively, by not having the spiritual stamina to trust God with my life.

I'm banking my whole future on a single MCB exam (which is in about two hours).

I reason to myself: "If I do well on it, I will finally be good enough. I will be able to go to medical school. I will be able to become a doctor."

No wonder I haven't been able to sleep well for a while. I'm literally crushing myself under the pressure of expectations.

But waking up this morning and seeing this...this promise. I feel more at peace. I know it doesn't mean I'll ace my exam today. Although I think I have prepared myself enough, in the scheme of things, I know it'll be God taking 9 steps for my 1.

IV's large group series on "Signs" just ended, but I wonder if this is just the beginning for me.
