It is a beautiful morning here in Tennessee! I woke to the sound of rain and soft hum of wind chimes. When I looked out my bedroom window, my first thought was “Wow, the clouds are really low today”.

I made my way to the kitchen for my morning coffee to find Richard dressed in sweats and a jacket. I asked if it had snowed during the night and he said, “Nope, it’s too warm out there”. Seriously…It was a whopping 45 degrees!!! Warm for Tennessee but not for this Texas raised gal.

Now, I realize 45 degrees may not come again for a while so I scuttled off to our bedroom and got dressed…I didn’t want to miss coffee on the front porch with Richard!!!

As we sat in silence, drank our coffee and listened to the rain, I realized our view of the mountains across the way was limited. The clouds were lingering over the mountains. But, the longer we sat there the better we the view became. The clouds had begun to lift.

This view caused me to think about the saying, “Get Your Head Out of The Clouds”. I have heard that saying my entire life but this morning it took on a new meaning for me!!! How often is our vision “clouded” or we can’t see what’s right in front of us because we have a mental cloud of preconceived ideas, the mindset of we have always done it that way, or we are consumed with doubt and disbelief? How often have we blocked the blessings of God because we couldn’t “see” what He had for us, it had not manifested or we believed it to be impossible? I know for me, I have done this many times!!! Often, I would tend to gravitate to what I could see, taste, touch, hear or physically feel. Over the past year, I have learned that is a limiting belief. Not only limiting God but myself. That veil of doubt and disbelief is literally blinding us to all the possibilities He has for us.

For me, I have found journalling to be an incredible tool to document my heart’s desires, log all that God has done for me, the prayers He has answered, and the timeframe in which He answered. Journalling provides clarity and helps removes the cloud of doubt and disbelief. I also find journalling serves as an accountability partner for me.

Just as journalling blesses me, so does blogging. I look back at some of my entries and am reminded of what was on my mind and heart at a specific time. I find great joy in sharing my thoughts and even my life as I pray a glimmer of hope would be provided to someone who is hurting, struggling, or just wanting to expand their horizons.

Do I have all the answers…ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

Have I been through some STUFF…ABSOLUTELY!!!

So, if there has been something I’ve been through that can save someone the heartache of trudging through the muck…You bet, I am going to share!!!

If you feel you have your heads in the clouds, just know this…You will be able to see clearly again!!!

Just…Get Your Head Out of The Clouds
