Darkness before the Dawn

It was windy. It was warm. There was an electricity silently snapping in the air that twisted my emotions, telling me something was on the way. Something big. There were clouds already whizzing across the slowly graying sky. It felt like we were on the beach it was so windy and warm. For a while, I stood on our porch, closing my eyes as the wind gusted across our valley, splattering cool air on my face and blowing my hair into flying curly-cews.

There was a tornado watch on for most of the day. Half the time we were going about our regular schedule, trying not to mention anything about the coming storm that would scare the kids. The other half we were watching the churning skies and the live-weather channel.

God was merciful, and we were not hit. It was a very stressful day. But a full one. :) :)

I took these pictures early this morning before I knew the storm was coming. It's passed now...

“Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water,

Or a path for the thunderbolt,

 To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one,
A wilderness in which there is no man;
²⁹ From whose womb comes the ice?
And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
 The waters harden like stone,
And the surface of the deep is frozen." ~Job 38: 25-26, 29-30

Sorry it's been so long since I posted last. Have a wonderful week!
