🚶 Walking Among The Clouds

Jenna sat at her desk and stared aimlessly into space.  Her heart felt so empty, and her mind clouded with pain and confusion.

Things seemed to be going so well.  She grew up in a big, loving Christian family.  Her father was one of the head deacons in their church.   Her mother played the organ.  She was a straight A student with an awesome boyfriend.  They grew up together.

Jenna was always devoted to the Lord.  She could feel his presence so strongly with her.  But suddenly the sun began to dim.  Things just didn't feel the same anymore.

Her parents announced after thirty years of marriage they were getting a divorce.  This 💔 broke Jennas spirit.  Their love always seemed so strong.  It seemed like it would last forever.

Her boyfriend Rick then broke up with her.  They had known each other all of their lives.  Jenna could see the sun fading quickly in her minds eye.  ☁ Clouds were setting in.  She just couldn't feel the Lord with her anymore.

Jennas strong foundation had been destroyed.  Her grades began to plummet.  She was in great danger of losing the scholarship that she had worked so hard to get.

One day she received notification that one of the substitute counselors wanted to talk to her.  She was fearful and knew it couldn't be good.

She made an appointment and went to the office.  He greeted her and invited her to sit down. 

As she did, she noticed something different about him.  He had this brilliant smile and an aura of joy about him that she had never seen before.

He asked her to tell him a little about herself.  Jenna started to describe things and then stopped as tears streamed down her face.

The gentleman stopped, took her hands and began to pray with her.  Jenna began to cry even more.  He told her that the Lord did not leave her.

He was working diligently on everything and loved her dearly.  She just needed to look to him and trust and not look at the clouds.

Jenna smiled for the first time in a long time.  She thanked him and went home to pray.  She began to feel more peace. 

As the weeks progressed, things got better.  Her parents worked things out and didn't get a divorce.  She met a wonderful new guy in her bible class.  Her grades began to improve.  Her scholarship was saved.

Jenna wanted to thank the counselor for his kindness.  But when she went down to the office she was in shock.  No one by that name was ever on staff.

Jenna went home smiling even more.  She knew just how much God truly loves her to send an angel to remind her!
