Mary As a Cloud

I had been hearing of a lady in Conyers, Georgia named Nancy Fowler, who had been having monthly visits by Mother Mary. I felt compelled to go. A date was set in October for the next apparition and I had purchased my ticket. In a moment of doubt and fear I began questioning my decision to go. While walking through the campground at the Maryland Renaissance Festival I asked God if I was deluding myself.

Walking from the campsite I looked up into the sky. It was a breezy fall day and the leaves on all the trees were at full color. The clouds were dappled across the sky and stretched long and thin with the wind.

In the center of all the clouds was a single cloud larger than the rest. The odd thing about this cloud was it stood vertical as all the other clouds were stretched horizontally. I looked closer at the cloud and could see the shape was the Mother Mary kneeling in prayer. Upon further inspection I noticed it had all the details intact, eyes, hair, veil, and fingers. It looked like a black and white painting of Mary.

I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. I looked again. This time I noticed that the horizontal clouds were in motion and Mary was not. The clouds gently passed around her. I took the flight. The gathering was large and there were representatives of all Christian faiths. I am not sure what my reason was for being there that day but I am sure there was some purpose.
