My dear friend, Sharon Young, loves clouds. She loves them so much, in fact, that she helped start a group, CLOUDS AT ACTIVE RAIN (clouds attached), for people to submit their most inspiring photos of clouds. This post is for Sharon Young and Julie Neerings (and for everyone who needs a reminder that the sun will shine again.)
There is a special story behind these photos.
One afternoon, I was talking to my beautiful friend, Julie Neerings. She was in her office, and the sky was filled with clouds. Julie was facing some difficult and very important life-changing decisions. We talked for hours...and as we talked...the clouds began to roll away, revealing the brightest sun behind the clouds. It was a sign to both of us that God always has a plan and an answer to even the most difficult situation...that we only need to ask Him for the answer and then trust Him to show us the way.
Later that evening, Julie emailed these photos to me...a special gift from an incredibly special person.
Today...surrounded by dark clouds...I find myself facing some difficult decisions. As I was praying this morning, I remembered Julie's photos. Once again...they brought sunshine to my heart. Although this day is filled with storm clouds and booming thunder...I KNOW that there is a bright and glorious sun just behind those dark clouds.
Psalm 23 A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, Even though I walk You prepare a table before me Surely goodness and love will follow me
he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
If you have never heard this song...I know it will touch you deeply. If you have heard it, maybe you need to hear it again today...as I did.
Praise You in This Storm - Casting Crowns
