Do you ever wonder if someone or something is trying to send you a sign? Every so often, I think I get one.
After my dad passed away, I would be driving in the car and my hair would raise up and touch the roof. I would pat it down and think that it was weird---satic electricty---that is what it was. But it kept happening, over and over again. Seriously it was to the point where I thought I had someone else in the car with me. And then one day a calm came over me, and I knew, I just knew, he was with me. It was like he was telling me that he was there. And then it stopped. Just.like.that. As if, I finally knew it was Dad and I always knew he was with me. It happens now and again, but not as frequently. In times of uncertainity, my hair will raise and touch the roof and I know that he is there helping me-guiding me in the right direction.
Last week, Jeremy and I went to look at a house. We decided to drive by to see if we like it before we make our realtor go with us. About 10 minutes from the house, Jeremy spots a rainbow. This rainbow is bright and beautiful and seems to follow us to the house and watches us. As we get closer to the house it is bigger and brighter. I instantly think "Is that you, dad? Are you going to guide us to the right house?" We pull up to the driveway and I know right away that this is not the house for us. There is too much work to do and that is not what we want right now in the stage of our life. We decide to go back home. I looked and that rainbow is fading. It seems to follow us in every turn we take. It was a amazing sight. But I still wonder if it was a sign? Does dad know something I don't.....is he leading us in the right direction.....or was it just a random rainbow and I am crazy???
I want to believe it is a sign.
