( CNN ) -- A man in northern Idaho says he has seen a massive hand of God in his life , and he is willing to share it with the highest bidder . Paul Grayhek says the `` Hand of God '' appeared in his backyard in March . Paul Grayhek , 52 , listed the rock formation he dubbed the `` Hand of God Rock Wall '' on the online auction Web site eBay . The highest bid was $ 250 early Sunday , with three days left to go in the auction . The hand-like formation , approximately 9 feet tall and 4 feet wide , appeared in Grayhek 's backyard after a rockfall during Lent on March 8 , he said . The Coeur d'Alene resident said he faced tough times after losing his job , and believed the rock was a sign . `` I prayed between licking my wounds and looking for a job , '' he said . `` We rarely get rockfalls and this formation is 20 feet from my house . It 's definitely a symbol of the hand of God in my life . '' However , the winning bidder on eBay should not start clearing out his backyard . Grayhek is not planning to part with the formation . The buyer will `` basically be buying the rights , complete and exclusive rights '' to the rock , including literary and movie rights , according to Grayhek . Grayhek said he plans to use the money from the sale to pursue an unpaid internship in counseling when he graduates with a master 's degree in social work in two years . `` People think I 'm some holier-than-thou person trying to get rich . I 'm not , '' Grayhek said . `` The purpose is to spread the story of God and eBay is just a vehicle . ''
