Did You See That?

   The family and I decided to take a little vacation down south. This was to be just a low key vacation filled with lazy days relaxing,  swimming, and reading by the pool. I am about to renew my consecration to Mary and brought along the perfect book to inspire me. One afternoon  my kids were off doing their own things and I had a chance to just quietly sit with Mary. With my feet dangling in the cool water of the pool, I contemplated God’s Will in my life with Mary. If only I could see a clear sign that I was on the right path.

  As I was sitting there , I felt a strong urge to look up.  I did, and was astounded!  In the sky was the word “Jesus”.  I jumped to my feet!  “Oh my gosh can other people see this?” I thought to myself.  “Of course they can,” I answered my own question.  Why wasn’t anyone else paying attention to this?  I ran and grabbed my phone and starting taking pictures. Some people noticed me taking pictures and looked up too, but not everyone.  

  My heart was racing and I felt the joy of the Holy Spirit!  There before my eyes was a pretty clear sign from God!  This was the full message I saw in the sky: Jesus gives,  ask. 

  Do I think this was just a coincidence?  Nope.  I believe that God delights in letting us know He is present to us.  For me to be sitting in that exact spot across the country, by a pool praying, to see a plane write a message in the sky is the the hand of God at work.  Was that message only for me?  Of course not. I’m sure it is a message many of His children need to see, but that doesn’t make it any less incredible for me.  I feel very blessed that someone else shared God’s inspiration and wrote a message in the sky.  God has a lot of good ideas, we just all need to trust His inspirations. God inspires us to inspire others. It really is a great Plan.   Have a blessed week!
