In 2023, I was lying in a hammock under the trees, and an inexplicable longing came over me. I cried out, “How much longer, Lord?” and as I looked up, clouds moved into the space between the trees and letters began to form. “SOON”, was written in the sky. And beside it? A perfect heart shape.
Fast forward to last night. I was sitting outside, bundled up due to a miserable cold, but I wanted to enjoy the sun and outdoors while it was still warm enough to do so. It was pretty, but it’s hard to enjoy anything when you’ve got a massive headache and can’t breathe, going into coughing fits, ad nauseum.
I was bemoaning to the Lord that not only did He *NOT* come, and I was dealing with the let-down and disappointment of it, but to add illness (and a nasty visit from Aunt Flo) to injury…?? What did it all mean?
I looked up in the sky, and suddenly a cloud came into the space between the trees. I don’t know what came over me, but I said, “Lydia. Look up. Look at that cloud. It’s going to spell another word.”
She looked up, and as we both watched, it formed the letters “NOW”. The boys had been in the barn (they’re running parts on the CNC for Brian, this week, and change out pieces every hour), and they ran outside, just then. “Look up!” Lydia told them.
Owen and Aaron did, and Owen said, “Now. Now what?!”
FOUR of us saw the word. And then it was gone.
It pulled apart into nothingness.
Brian came home and we told him about it. Lydia said, “You know how sometimes it’s like ‘well… maybe that’s what Mom sees’… but it wasn’t like that – there was NO mistaking it. We all saw!!”
We’ve gone from ‘Soon’, to ‘Now’.
And I’m EXCITED!!!!
It’s only a couple of weeks to Ark Day/Flood day, and Chanukkah is the very beginning of December… so we shall see! Heck, I’d take *ANY* day. As long as it’s “NOW”!
