finally.
we've been getting gypped out here in maple lake. it seems we live in a bubble that keeps the really good storms at bay. they're always to the west or the south or any other direction (being north or east), just not over my sleepy little town. i get really disappointed because i like the severe storms. i'm not so into damage, but i like the strength of storms. i love to stand on my porch and feel the wind. smell the rain. it feels like a show god puts on. show me the power sort of thing. and i love to fall asleep to the rhythm of the rain and the rumble of the thunder. i love it when a flash of lightening wakes me up. and i love to just watch the rain come down.but we haven't been getting storms at my house. and last night, as it was pouring and hailing at joel and kathy's, i thought... i bet i'm missing this at home. and as i was leaving, we were looking at a large thunderhead off in the distance and since i'm always turned around at their house, i thought... and i sure won't see it at home.
but at every turn and every curve, i got more excited. because i realized that i was driving right at that thunderhead. with every flash of lightening, i got giddier. i honestly don't have the words to fully describe the emotions i was having. i was speeding home, not because i didn't want to drive in the rain, but i wanted to enjoy the storm without having to think about driving.
going home last night was sadly the best worship i have experienced in what seems like way too long. oh, but it was good.

I enjoy a good thunderstorm too. The best is when you're camping provided you stay dry.
