After All The Pain, God Sent Us A Rainbow

“Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”  -  Genesis 9:16

Having another child was not on our agenda. We had Boogey and he was a handful. We poured everything we had into him. Given that my pregnancy with him was (emotionally) one of the hardest things I’ve gone through, we both decided that one child was all we could handle. 

It been almost two years since the affair and everything was different. Our marriage was in a beautiful place. So, we began to talk about having another child. 

I had my fears. So we prayed about it. 

My greatest fear was having another pregnancy that was filled with sadness and everything I felt during my first pregnancy. God gave me a peace and reassured me that things would be different. 

Soon after, we conceived Jayce.

God made good on every promise when it came to my pregnancy. From the moment I realized what was inside of me, there was a spiritual connection. A constant reminder of everything God had done in my life and in my marriage. I wasn’t alone. I wasn’t sad. I could feel God every minute of that pregnancy, protecting me in a way no one could. Removing every fear and doubt that the enemy tried to whisper into my ear. He was right beside me. 

Jayce was my rainbow. The sign of a covenant Papa and I made with God when we renewed our commitment to one another. He was a sign of a promise God made with me. 

Even now, at 6 years old, he lights up a room. His smile is infectious, he is gentle and loving. He always knows when something is wrong but never asks if I’m ok. He will simply ask to give me a hug and whisper I love you into my ear…

He is everything God knew I would need.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUNSHINE…
