In the Clouds

"3,000 feet. I can do this, this isn't too bad." and then I realized we had 7,000 more feet to go. My heart burst into my face, and a panic began to set in.

"Why am I doing this? This is ridiculous. Am I sure this was on the list?" As I looked out the window it hit me.

I saw the clouds. They were vast, they just went on forever. There was no end, and no beginning. A passage that has been on my heart all week began to resonate within my mind, "They have already heard that you, O Lord are with these people and that you, O Lord, have been seen face to face, that your cloud stays over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night." Numbers 14:14 (N.I.V.)

I saw God in the clouds that day. He reveled his bigness to me in a way I would have never imagined. I imagined myself falling through the clouds, and how even then they are so much bigger than me. I felt so small. How could I not trust? When you come into the contact of Gods amazing love you feel a peace that does go beyond all understanding. When I let go of the fear, and embraced the obvious, I learned how to fly.

"My chains are gone, I've been set free, my God my Savior has ransomed me. And like a flood His mercy rains, unending love, amazing grace."
