Seeing God in the Clouds

A few years ago I was having a hard time at work. It seemed my life was going nowhere. I was in a job that I hated. I took the job because I wanted to help people but it was a county job and there were mountains of red tape involved.

I was miserable. I would come home at night and stay on the internet for hours to get my mind off of my problems. Many times I was so depressed I would cry myself to sleep and once I almost had a nervous breakdown.

All this time I was praying to God asking him for help and asking him to tell me what he wanted me to do. The next morning I started to work early. I drove to the same stop sign and I turned right and looked up and my breath stopped. In the clouds above me, I saw a face, a face I beleive to be that of God. He had Golden hair, a golden beard and a bright, shinning white light was behind his head. He was looking down, but not directly at me and when he saw me there looking up at him, he immediately pulled the sky up over him. It was as if he had zipped the opening in the sky closed. He didn't look directly at me but I knew he saw me.

I sat there for a moment dazed and confused. Did I really see God? I mean, me? I am a nobody? Why would God care about me. For a few days I didn't tell anyone. I thought, oh no, they are doing to commit me right now. Okay fellas, come get her. It's time, the county has fried her brains. I mean, who does she thin she is, seeing God!!

So I thought more and more about it and I shared it with my son. To my utter amazement he believed me. Then I began to wonder why I saw what I did. I believe I saw God's face because it was his way of letting me know that he is always with us, everywhere, every time, every place and he knows what we are going through and he is here to help us. It was the most amazing, incredible vision of my life and I will never forget it. It, to me, showed the true power of God's love and power. I have searched magazines, websites, newspapers anything for anyone with a similar experience but so far nothing has appeared.
