Clouds. I love clouds. I could go on and on about how much I love them. I love how white and puffy they can be, how they are always moving, and how you will never see the same cloud twice because they are always forming into new clouds or just disappear. I love that God made them for us. I love that every morning and evening He paints a masterpiece in the sky using different colors and different brush strokes. I love that I can stand in Awe and if I watch long enough it changes within the minute and it will never look like that again.
Whenever I’m overwhelmed I stop and look up to the sky and stare at his creation. Recently I will lay down no matter where I’m at (usually in a safe spot with no one around) and I just breathe; everything that seems to be causing me to have anxiety or I start to get in a strange mood, I look up and it goes away (for that amount of time). I especially like randomly laying down in the streets during the night and look up at the stars while playing worship music.
By this point you should have gathered that I love clouds.
Three days ago our team leader Hilary was staying with us and as a team we decided to do come cool activities about self image. One activity was ‘Ask the Holy Spirit about what He says about you’ A listening prayer and then write it down or even draw a picture. We started to pray and a few words started to come and I wrote them down. But an Image came to my mind and it was a sunset with beautiful clouds. I drew the clouds but had no idea what it meant or if it even had a meaning. But I kept that in the back of my mind and asked God to show me what he meant by it.
So that brings us to today. This evening I had an urge to write a blog. With excitement and no ideas I sat for about 30 minutes and saw that the sun was setting and maybe I would go worship out on the balcony and just stare at the clouds.
I sat out there looking in awe and amazed once again by our Gods masterpiece. I started to think about what I drew in my journal and then something clicked. As much as I love clouds, that’s how much God loves me. I think the clouds are a masterpiece but that’s what God thinks of me. I am a masterpiece, wonderfully made in his image. I am always changing for him and constantly moving to make a difference.
My dream has come true. I’m a cloud.
(some cool bible verse I found about clouds)

“Look at the heavens and see; and behold the clouds– they are higher than you.” -Job 35:5
