~:[CH5 - Day 355]:~ The Sign in the Sky

Sometimes the sign point to something that you may not quite realize at the moment, but still leave you breathless. As while the day was a little crazy between grading, cleaning, and taking care of a checklist of items, I also had time to catch up with people, congratulate some, and also write messages to a load of others. After the rain cleared and my 7th period was able to complete their dance final, I smiled as I looked up to the sky, as in a year we brought back No Rain, No Rainbows for our CIF theme, a full rainbow appeared overhead on our last day of 2016. Coincidence? I think not. It was a year where there were some challenges and adjusting, but in the end, it resulted in a year where the storms passed through and left us with a reminder that there are greater things on the horizon. What is in store in 2017? Who knows, but at least I know that despite the struggles, I have pushed through and have found myself at a place that I am content and happy to be at. While some of my hopes for 2016 did not happen, I did what I could to make it happen and stand here, rewarded with a sight so rare and beautiful that you take a moment in between all the craziness of the day to just soak it all in. No more worries of what to do, questioning if things will work out or where you should go from here. Rather, you are left simply appreciating the beauty that surrounds you and the Creator who made this all happen. For this moment, all is silent and all is well, as my hope is restored for all that is possible going forward, taking this sign as my inspiration.
