Kelly, it has been a while since I have been on Pettalk regularly. Anyway, I am just seeing this thread now and wanted you to know that you can feel free to PM me whenever, I know we have chatted before and if I can be of any support to you, feel free to PM away

I know other Christians who, right now, are struggling with "Where are you God?"...and I have been through some tough situtations myself....but God has always revealed Himself to me (and that is the very reason why I have been able to get through lifes bumps along the way) and I am glad that in those beautiful clouds you saw today, He has revealed Himself to you...and just as you felt distant from Him, your seeing Him in those magnificant clouds, shows God that you are calling out to Him and realize your need for Him. Those beautiful clouds were not revealed by accident, as I am sure you know. He is always here for you, always, and even though you may not feel His presense all of the time, whenever you might turn around to look for Him again, He has been standing in the same place where you last saw Him...He never left...and that is what is so Awesome about Him...we can turn away and He is always there just waiting to pick up where we left off with Him. Times can be rough and He can feel far away from us at times, and I am sorry it seems you have been feeling this way (((HUGS)))...and I don't want to sound like I have all of the answers, b/c I don't, that is for sure, just want to offer support and Christian love. Christ won't give you a burdon or a cross too heavy for you to carry...you may not see that now, but you will looking back on these times where you were struggling...He will carry you through...and I will remember you in my prayers. (((HUGS)))

Love, Robyn
