Thunderstorm Warning

I wonder what true freedom feels like. Nothing held back, everything exposed, with not a care of what the world thinks, your whole being fixed on the creator of this universe. The one who created us to feel this freedom everyday. The one who wants nothing more than for us to even experience a brief moment of this freedom.

Today there was some news in my life causing a wall to come between me and this freedom. Everything in me wanted to get rid of the sick feeling in the core of my stomach and feel this freedom, but the wall held me back. Tonight the severe thunderstorms hit. Lightning, thunder, and rain filled the atmosphere. Tornadoes were everywhere, yet all I wanted was to feel this freedom. So I stepped outside into the pouring rain. With arms spread to the sky I ran, spun, splashed, and jumped up and down my street until I found myself lying in the middle of my court. Suddenly the wall was gone and in the next few moments I felt freedom like I never have before. I smiled closing my eyes thanking God for showing me his glory through those few moments of true freedom.

the heavens tell of the glory of God.
the skies display his marvelous craftmanship. ~ps19
