While flying today I choose to be still and hear God. I know I felt Him telling me to keep looking for His sign. I noticed the wing with the words No step”. I noticed my seat “23A”. I noticed the airline United. Lord is this it? Am I going to get to Indy and see the words “no step at 23A United” and feel the heavens move? I wondered if I would look out the window and see my name in the clouds? How is God going to speak to me? And then it hits VAPOR TRAILS. As a little girl I would walk outside and when I saw a vapor trail my brothers and sisters would lift me up by my hands and feet and swing me while chanting ” vapor trails, vapor trails, wee!!” I don’t know why…but I loved vapor trails.
So as I look for the signs I notice a vapor trail and recall my fond memory. But, when I look at this trail it’s like I see people, thousands of people all standing in a line. And then I hear Him say..it’s like you have activated thousands to pray. This is the cloud of witnesses activated because of prayer. The line never ends. It goes on and on forever. It’s a solid, never ending line. It’s led by my praying father, my grandparents, my friends, my godson, my former pastor all around the throne saying holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God. It is the cloud of witnesses activated to MOVE on our behalf because of prayer.

And so I ask for the nations. I ask for Chicago, I ask for LISD, I ask for the gym, I ask for the incarcerated. I ask for every petition in my heart and I watch the vapor trails.
