Higher Spirits: Church
Rainbow Picture Back to Higher Spirits Pics
Cherri B. took this stunning rainbow image inside of a
newly built church. She references the photos of her when she was a child
that had what she describes as a protective shield about her. These
pictures can be found here on Angels & Ghosts: Faces With Mist

Here's an excerpt
from the letter she wrote to the preacher of the church about the
picture:
"I shared a story with Jan about my prayers for the Church
during the building process, and God's sign to me that he heard my prayers; and
that his presence was very abundant in the rooms being prepared for your
congregation's worship. You see I truly believe that my God is alive and
well and that he is always with me. I pray to him and he answers.
Sometimes these answers come in something that I am pondering and the Sunday
service touches upon it. His responses come through others coming to me
with the very same issue that I am going through and we work through it
together. Sometimes I hear it in a song; other times in a piece of
literature, or just a deep internal feeling that everything is going to be
okay. The strangest thing is that sometimes it actually shows up as a
visible sign. When I was younger; a very strange thing was happening when I was
taking pictures. Regardless of what age I was, or what camera was used
(including school pictures), or where it was taken at, there was always a
protective shield surrounding me. My mom would laugh and call it my
guardian Angel. As I was older I captured a few pictures of something that
a lot of people say looks like an Angel... I sent you copies of these - you
decide. On the day that I was walking around the Church taking
pictures and praying in gratitude for the blessing of being part of the team in
putting together this beautiful church. I half-heartedly said in my
prayers, 'Okay, God. Let me know that you are pleased with our work here.
I am looking for a sign.' And I snapped the picture. I couldn't
believe what I saw: a rainbow was in the picture! I don't know about you,
but I have never seen a rainbow inside. There is no presence of water
in the air, but there it was; this rainbow. On a more personal note, I
have faced many challenges in my life and have realized that the power of prayer
is amazing. I put full trust in my God. There are people in life
that say, "Well, I have never had a burning bush experience." Well, in my
life I have had forest fires. I live with a grateful heart and I have
learned that the way to overcome obstacles is by activating my faith in
God. I trust God to overcome the 'boulders' in my life and they are
replaced by miracles."
