I remember as a kid that I would lay on my back in the yard and look at the clouds to try to find things in them. As silly as it sounds, Matt and I still occasionally play this game when we are driving some where or just hanging out. I try to get the kids into the game but they are missing some imagination! Occasionally they will play but often just make fun of me and Matt.
Fast forward to Sunday...I saw the most incredible cloud ever! It was completely a cloud with no jets, airplanes, huge birds or anything causing the effect. I also thought it was slightly ironic that I caught a sign in the picture that reads "Hill blocks view". I often am reminded of how we forget God is still in control when we are in the valley. Those mountains we have to climb can keep us from looking just a little bit higher and seeing God with His outstretched hands like a parent holding out their arms for that baby just learning to walk. This had to be God's gift to me on Sunday just to remind me that just over that next hill, He is there waiting with outstretched hands and encouraging me to keep going.
