I am about to address what’s been on everyone’s minds, I know you are DYING to hear me write about this- how about that solar eclipse?! haha, now, my eclipse experience was a little different than most. I hyped it up so much, I got sooooo excited when it was time for it to happen, but instead, a single cloud overlapped the moon that overlapped the sun. one. cloud. This cloud literally would not move and I couldn’t see the eclipse. It was the ONLY cloud in the sky blocking this beautiful, once in a lifetime sight. I was pretty disappointed to say the least. I didn’t have any fancy glasses or a cool telescope, but I still was trying to record it on my camera (without looking don’t worry) but sadly this cloud didn’t move and I was mad. I kept on looking at it because honestly there was no sunlight getting through. Then, all of a sudden, I saw a rainbow in the cloud. A freaking R A I N B O W!! Like, I’m not making this up, I have picture proof! 
As soon as I acknowledged the beauty of that cloud and the beauty of the rainbow in it, I finally finally finally saw the moon as it left the sun. I got the very last glimpse of it and I soaked it all up! Literally, my eyes soaked it all up, my bad (i’m ok). The best part of this is that I learned a wonderful lesson! There may be something super exciting about to happen in your life, something huge that you and maybe even everyone around are anticipating, and then out of nowhere there’s just this big cloud fogging that vision from you. All the excitement you have is being blocked by something. This really applies to my life at the moment, the solar eclipse for me is the World Race and that big cloud blocking the eclipse is me being at home right now. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE home. Though if I’m being honest, home at the moment is a bit lonely. Friends are working or off at college, family is far away and my parents work, too. I’m definitely a little sad and just eager to leave for the race. But just like the rainbow in the cloud, I have acknowledged the comfort of being home, the time I’m having here whether I’m bored, lonely, sad or whether I feel like I’m stuck in routine. I have recognized the beauty of it just like I recognized the beauty of the rainbow in the cloud and now I can see the world race more clearly (just like I was able to see the eclipse)!! It’s exactly two weeks away from today and there’s barely any time left to soak home in. It is crunch time, it is cry time and it is take advantage of all the time time! Praise God for giving me this wonderful depiction of life through the solar eclipse and a gorgeous stunning breathtaking rainbow cloud.
My eclipse experience was very different from everyone else’s, and same goes with my life right now.
AND O H M Y G O S H . . . I OFFICIALLY MET MY $10,000 GOAL!! In fact, I’ve raise $10,546 which means I only have $4,405 to go until I am fully funded! oh my gosh this is incredible. Almost as amazing as the eclipse! ahhhhh thank you from the bottom of my heart!
