how can i forget?

i experienced something truly unbelievable tonight. and if you live in lakeland and were outdoors (or near a window!) at appx 7pm tonight... you may have seen what i saw.

rainbows.

not one, but two. and the most vibrant colors imaginable! instead of half of the rainbow just flowing into the clouds, it magically formed a perfect upside down 'U'.

took my breath away.

last night's message at church was just an affirmation of everything that i have been feeling lately. moments that i experience and say i will never let those memories slip away... and then life happens and i focus on the 'here and now' and forget. it aches me to think about all of the times god has provided for such an undeserving person as myself... and then i forget about it.

it may be a couple of weeks or months, but i lose touch with the feelings and emotions that i once felt. god has been the best that has ever happened to me.
how could i forget what he has done for me?

all i could think about as i was looking at this display of god's perfection and promise was how long it would be before i forgot about that moment i shared with him.

i want to remember the times when i am flat on my face on my bedroom floor crying out for god's presence.
i want to remember the times when i have a conversation with someone and they speak life into me and my spirit confirms that the words that were claimed over my life were from god.
i want to never forget the peace, forgiveness, dreams and moments that my god has given me.
