If you've been reading this blog long enough or if you know me well enough, then you probably know how much I love thunderstorms. In fact, if you are in one of the previously mentioned categories you are actually probably sick of hearing (or reading) about my love of thunderstorms and it's okay. I get it. I know I mention it a good bit.
Tonight, I wasn't expecting a thunderstorm and ended up in Yogurt Mountain for a good while waiting out what I think was probably the worst of it. Now, as I get ready to go to bed, I listen to the sounds of thunder roll across the skies. I watch as my window lights up over and over with the magnificent flashes of lightning and I am at peace.
As I said in the title, this is a quick post, because I mentioned above I am going to bed. However, I wanted to be sure to share a verse that I've shared before out of Job. Well... more like a passage.
"My heart pounds as I think of this. It trembles within me. Listen carefully to the thunder of God's voice as it rolls from his mouth. It rolls across the heavens, and his lightning flashes in every direction. Then comes the roaring of the thunder--the tremendous voice of his majesty. He does not restrain it when he speaks. God's voice is glorious in the thunder. We can't even imagine the greatness of his power." - Job 37:1-5 (NLT)
I know I am among many that sleep peacefully during thunderstorms but I pray tonight that everyone, whether you usually sleep peacefully during thunderstorms or not, would rest easy with this verse on their hearts. May the Lord bless you richly. Goodnight:)

Rainy Days:)
I woke up this morning to what I consider a pleasant surprise. Cloudy skies:) Yes, I know most of you think I'm weird but I love stormy days. I love the sound of the rain pouring down on the roof, I love the cool cover of the clouds, and when God sends it I love the sound of His voice in the thunder:) While I think all days are beautiful and I know that they are all gifts from God, I really favor days like this. It's relaxing.
One of the many reasons that I love thunderstorms is a passage in the book of Job, Chapter 37, verses 1-5. It says, "My heart pounds as I think of this. It trembles within me. Listen carefully to the thunder of God's voice as it rolls from his mouth. It rolls across the heavens, and his lightning flashes in every direction. Then comes the roaring of the thunder the tremendous voice of his majesty. He does not restrain it when he speaks. God's voice is glorious in the thunder. We can't even imagine the greatness of his power".
Every time I hear a crack of thunder I smile and remember the words of the woman who I consider to be my mentor "Speak Lord speak. I'm listening". So yes, I do enjoy the stormy days better than the sunny days (most of the time anyway). I am decently sane, I don't love rain at the beach, I love to be able to see sun rises and sun sets, and yes the rain is inconvenient when it comes to getting out to go to work or really anywhere, but I don't complain because once I'm indoors I continue to enjoy it:) My kids at the daycare however... well that's a different story, they don't really agree with something that prevents them from going to the playground.
I hope that God will fill your mind with thoughts of the scripture above as the day goes on. May you rejoice even in the stormy day today for this is the day HE has made and WE WILL rejoice and be glad in it!! (Psalm 118:24)
