That storm yesterday was amazing!
I was babysitting with Steph, and standing out front watching it come in. I first noticed the green–“tornado weather”…
…then the clouds being pushed and swirled opposite directions. And then I saw a truly spinning cloud that, if it decided to drop and expand, would have been a true funnel cloud. I’ve never seen one spin that tight that wasn’t actually part of a tornado. It seemed to take forever to move away. So far everything had moved in and west so quickly…this one just kept hanging right over us. In my head I was figuring how many people would fit in our tiny powder bath (the only downstairs room in the house without windows). Wondering what I would do if I actually saw a finger come down out of the sky. And praying…
The whirpool in the sky finally moved farther west and a bit north while other bits of cloud rushed south and southwest. And we watched as the rest of the storm tried to make up it’s mind about unleashing it’s fury on us or waiting till it hit the coast.
About five minutes later, whatever tv channel that was playing Jurassic Park interrupted with some weather warnings, which soon turned into tornado watches. I could have told them that. I told my little brother “I could have been the weatherman.”
In the end we only got a bit of wind and some rain. And Jonathan got some great pictures, it looks like. And then we had a rainbow and a sunset…just as if the scary storm had never happened.

great story, the storm didn’t make it this far west :c)
You were greatly missed yesterday! I hope you’re feeling better!
Love you loads, Adrienne
ahh! I know how that is! Sickness can take a lot out of you and the brain doesn’t always want to co-operate. That’s a great mental image of His word “washing” over us. I’ll be praying for your fight for joy! I, personally need to go listen to those messages again. I’ve been reading over a lot of the notes I took, but i think listening to it in the whole would be better.
For me, it like I have these few moments in the day where I really don’t have anything pressing to get done. Do I pick on the word or spend a few moments talking with God? no, I’d rather tool around on my computer or read a chapter out of a book. nonono!! I’ve been pressuring myself to find Joy in His word. I love food, so I try to look at His word as a delectable cheesecake or a savory steak…it dosen’t always work, but sometimes the mind images help provoke a need for “soul” food.:c) Pray for me!
love you!
The storm was beautiful.
i think we should have a “sister sing” sometime. =) that would be fun. if i were you and i didn’t have the album, i would go on a date with Jesus with my CD player and buy the CD where it’s cheaper, go to a place that is beautiful to you at sunset, and just listen and soak. yeah.
