This morning I had a run which was useful to clear my head. It often seems that during the week I get busy and tired, and in doing this can loose focus. Whilst running I mulled over some stuff that has happened in the last few days (some positive, some negative and some just confusing). Some of it was stuff that I just needed to stop trying to be in control of and simply surrender. The thing about surrendering control is that it's easiest when you really trust the person that you're giving the control to and know that they have your best interests at heart.
Later today, whilst in the office I noticed that it was starting to rain on one side of the office whilst being sunny on the other side. It prompted me to realise that there would probably be a rainbow, and there was; a beautiful double bow spanning out from the church on the hill opposite the office. It reminded me of the story of Noah and how the rainbow represented evidence of a promise from God that he'd not cause the earth to flood again.
Reflecting today I thought about what promises I make. I think that at times I promise stuff too lightly when even as I commit to it I realise that I can't keep my word. That's not how I want to be or how I want to be perceived by others. I want my promises and my word to be dependable by others.
