We've had a couple adventures together in storms. One was an incredible storm that we navigated through in a car. As we drove, the storm was always ahead of us, behind us, or on either side of us. At first it was west and ahead of us as we drove north. We turned into the west, but now it was ahead and on either side of us. We turned back north and now it was on every side. But we never were directly under the storm. Lightning flashing everywhere.
Then in the second to last time that I saw Becca before I left for Korea, we sat in the parking lot of her apartment, watching the storm, talking about life and what was ahead of both of us.
As we watched those displays of power, there was awe...and peace.
At this also my heart trembles and leaps out of its place. Keep listening to the thunder of his voice and the rumbling that comes from his mouth. Under the whole heaven he lets it go,and his lightning to the corners of the earth. After it his voice roars; he thunders with his majestic voice, and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard. God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend. Job 37:2-5
We could see the power in the storm. The light illuminated the space around us and the thunder shook the ground. And it was like God was speaking to us as we talked about the future:
I AM powerful. Have no fear of the days to come. I will speak, and I will light up the path, if only in flashes and pieces.
