The Rain Comes

   The sky grows dark, and I am filled with expectation.  I feel this show was put on just for me.  I thrill at the greatness and glory of my God.
   The storm takes over, and my brother, full of fear, comes running, but I am not afraid.  I hear the rolling thunder and watch watch the brilliant lightning show, and I am reminded of His infinite power, His constancy.  He holds the universe in the palm of His hand.  He fills my every need.
   I stand in the rain and I catch it on my tongue.  It soaks my shirt and rests on my eyelashes.  I am drenched in the presence of my Lord and Savior, my lover.

Happiness

   I've formed a habit of saying one-word sentences that describe how I feel.  For example: Calmness.  Coldness!  Confusion. (I did not mean for that to be alliteration!)  And when I saw how many pageviews I have: Happiness!
   My blog has been seen 1,032 times since I started in July!  That achieves part of my goal, which is amazing, but the other part actually hasn't seen any progress at all.  You guys have been great, but there haven't been any new people.  Can you get me some more followers before my birthday?  10 more days!
   Another bit of news: we had our first snow today!  I lost the bet with my dad about getting out of school early (it was his idea), but it's still exciting!  Sadly, someone decided they would just take the memory card out of the camera, so I can't take any pictures, but here's a cool snow picture I found on Google. :)

Have I ever mentioned that I love tree-lined streets?
