Yesterday, I spent the day praying for several situations that are very
troubling for me right now. For no discernable reason, in the late
afternoon, I suddenly began to feel like I had been attached to a hot
air balloon and was being lifted up. I rose into a place of peace
and hope, a place of eternal joy. It was an incredible sensation
of happiness, yet more than happiness too.It reminded me of an event that happened many years ago when we lived
in the mountains in Colorado. I was driving one day under heavy
clouds, both physical and emotional. As I slowly climbed up
Dallas Divide, I entered into those clouds and was surrounded with a
thick dark fog. Slowly the fog began to lighten and become
brighter. It grew brighter and brighter until it was almost impossible
to drive because of the shining glare. Then suddenly I drove
through the top of the clouds, and I found myself in a fairy land of
mountain peak islands in a sea of glowing clouds. It was so beautiful
with the deep blue sky, the shimmering clouds and the snow-capped
mountains, it brought tears to my eyes. I had to pull over and stop to
memorize the incredible beauty of that magical moment.So yesterday felt the same. Nothing is changed, yet nothing is the same
either. I have felt the heartbeat of God and he tells me that all is
well.

I know what you felt. It has happened to me and it is almost indescribable. Your description of the mountain vista almost touches the feeling. I am so glad you felt that peace.
