On Sunday, October 30th, I traveled to the famous Incan ruins of Machu Picchu with my dear, sweet mother! We had an awesome time, and the ruins were amazing. It blew my mind just to look at the mountains surrounding the hilltop of the reconstructed ancient city. The God that I worship--even more crazily, the God that loves me--created those huge mountains and somehow gave the Incans the smarts to create such a beautiful and advanced city. We walked through the whole city, but there was plenty more to see, with other trails and other temples on other mountains nearby.
In the bus on our way down the mountain, I wondered aloud about how often the people in Machu Picchu and Cusco see/saw rainbows, because the Cusque
ñan flag is a rainbow. I personally love rainbows, they are quite the amazing phenomena. Not five minutes later, I looked past my mom, out the bus window and saw.... a rainbow!! It. Was. So. Cool. My mom and I marveled at how beautiful it was, not up in the sky like usual, but low, and in between the mountains. As the bus continued down the mountain, we witnessed the creative Creator create (wow) another rainbow! Yup, a double rainbow. That brought a marvelous end to our day :)

The next morning in Cusco, I was reading some Psalms and had to share this with my mom: "Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them." (Psalm 111:2) That is us, wondering how God does all the amazing things that He does: how He forms the mountains, how He produces a rainbow... and so much more. And our pondering leads to praise! Because He is great and powerful, and truly the most talented artist.
