okay, remember what i wrote about life feeling like a sky of storm clouds
a couple of posts ago? well, i got an email this morning from one of my
students from Geneva who is now at uni in the UK. i haven't talked to her in a
long while and she has no clue how i'm doing, but she sent me this email
this morning...check this out:
"Hi Tara,
how are you ?
As I prayed for you last night this is what I felt/saw/came to mind...
Something about disconnected ... because of the weight of the clouds,
the weight of the night - and how on a grey day you can't feel the
warmth of the sun and you wait, hoping the sun will pierce through the
clouds, just to feel it's warmth - just to feel it's touch...how when
the skys are grey/dark spiritually it's easier to feel disconnected from God...
but this is what I felt I saw - a hand reached down through the clouds,
more radiant than the strokes of sunshine - and was just holding your hand
as you walked through the day. And though you might not see His hand, it is
still there, and He is loving you with the biggest smile on His face :)
Of course Jesus is closer than "above the clouds" - He's in your heart
(that's CLOSE) - the grey weight on you - is inside possibly - blocking
you from seeing Him clearly - seeing how He's holding you through every situation...
i don't know if this makes any sense to you - hopefully i've made it make sense.
It all came to mind in a rush and it was just beautiful to see Him holding
your hand through the dark clouds :) I trust He is as i saw Him holding your hand.
He loves you (big smile on my face, bigger one on His face) and I love you Tara :)
Take care and have a sun shining through the clouds sustaining you day :)"
