Today I thought I would post my story about two songs that really ministered to me this week. Most of you know we have been going through some rough health stuff with my husband. We have been cooped up this week for most of the week. It is enough to really drain you. So, I had to just get out for a bit to pick up a couple of things. This time away was so good. I put in my Toby Mac Diverse City CD and played Getaway Car. It talks about getting out of here fast and far-I need a getaway car-I need to be where you are......Anyway, it was good.
I started talking to God about all that was going on and just wanted to see Him. He started to instruct me to take in the creation all around and that it was His. To behold Him in it. I was driving after a rather hard storm, it was beautiful. Mist was forming on the mountains all around me and it just looked astounding. God and I were talking and then I felt Him tell me to look back and there it was. The most beautiful rainbow. I have never seen one here in our city before. God seems to always use His rainbows to remind me of His precious promises to me.
Then Burn For You came on and the words, I'd rather burn for you then fade away came on....Oh God I would rather burn for you then fade away. I turned the corner and then I saw the entire rainbow again. It was amazing.
Here is a video of Burn For You-Toby Mac

Your post just brought tears to my eyes. I know exactly how you felt. My husband (who is an unbeliever) has already had a heart attack, bypass surgery and followup stint surgery, and sometimes going out alone and seeking the Lord changes how I feel so dramatically. Thank you for sharing.
Praying that this weekend would bring renewal for both of you!
Have a blessed weekend!
I love that song too. I'm so glad that God is making Himself so real to you right now and you feel Him walking beside you.
God is good all the time. All the time God is good!
I don 't think I have ever heard this song. Loved it.
Glad you joined in. Hope your Easter is terrific.
Thanks for sharing. It was very spiritual...beautiful....
I love rainbows myself. There just somehting about them. Thanks for sharing your song and I will pray for your family!
What a sweet story of time spent with GOD. There's just nothing like realizing that HE'S just revealed HIMSELF to us in such an intimate way.
On another note.. we LOVE TobyMac too! Our 10 year old is just CRAZY about his music.
Have a BLESSED Easter!
Don't you just love those moments when God surprises you!! I bet He loves them too. Hope you are finding peace and renewal during this Resurrection Day weekend!!

It sounds like you had a really neat moment with God, just when you needed. I hope that it refreshed you.
Angela, NO WAY!!! I put in that Diver-city CD to jam out while I'm doing housework and the kids love it too! I listened to it at least twice this weekend. I've never seen the video and you have no idea how hard it is for me to know I can watch it from your blog but ALAS, I'm at work!! I want to crank it up but can't right now (though the inmates outside my door might be blessed by it!):-) I will think of you and your beautiful story every time I hear it from now on and come lunch time? I'm cranking it up! :-)
