Clouds Part 2

not quite what I saw Okay I know that a) I already blogged once today, but remember, I don't have access to blogging on the weekends, so I have to make up for lost time and b) I've become so sentimental about clouds that there's just too much to say.
So today, I looked up at the sky as I've gotten into the habit of doing since that first day on the roof of my school and I saw the most beautiful sight. (Unfortunatly I was unable to find a picture that depicted exactly what I saw, so I'll do my best to describe it). In every direction, whether I turned left or right or behind me or in front of me, the sky seemed as though it were split in two. On the "top" was straight blue sky (although it wasn't quite bright blue yet because it was 7:00a.m. and it was still a little dark) and on the "bottom" was dark gray clouds. A faint pink line of clouds separated the two. I'll never be able to describe it like I saw it, it's too hard. I smiled because no matter where I looked, it was the same, a continous pattern all the way around me. The gray bit of it looked like a wall and the first thing it made me think about was God's protection. I was reminded about how much I'm protected by my Father in everything that I do. And as I was walking to my class, I thanked God for His protection and as I prayed, my words were exactly as follows "Thank You for protecting me from the evil one, thank You for protecting me from the pains of this world, and thank You for protecting me from myself." It was then that I realized that I can do nothing without God, who protects me from harm. He protects me from things He knows I cannot handle and the things I do deal with, He knows I'm strong enough to deal with. I'm noticing every day that God speaks to me through the clouds, even as a simple reminder that He is there, and affecting the world everyday.
