Sometimes, I think dark, gloomy, rainy days filled with bright flashes of lightning & loud rolls of thunder can be more beautiful than sunny & 75. I'm not sure why. I used to be terrified of storms. But just in time, God gave me a peace & caused me to see the beauty in them. Isn't that just like our Lord? Just before I started working full-time watching kids, I began enjoying what I had hated for so long. So that when the inevitable summer storms came around, I didn't have to be the baby curled up in a closet somewhere, I could be the one who could confidently say, "It's all gonna be okay! Really!".
I know it sounds silly, but it's really a big deal for me. When babysitting for date nights, I've literally had to take someone (Sebastian - boyfriend, Katie - bestfriend, Lydia - sister) with me because of me not wanting to be alone during a thunder storm. Obviously, I can't be bringing someone to work with me everyday just incase, but now I don't even worry about it! Such a huge blessing.
Right now, I'm sitting on the couch, watching the sky light up, & listening to the thunder roll - coffee in hand. I was watching The Parent Trap, but the internet connection kept going in and out causing waaay too much buffering. Both kids are fast asleep after a tiring day spent at the park & I keep forgetting there's a dog snoozing right next to my feet.
& it's beautiful.
