I'm the same way. ...That's funny, Courtney. I'm the same way. I was a meteorologist in the Air Force and when tornadoes would be predicted in our area, I used to get the kids in the hallway, books and pillows over their heads and then I'd go out on the porch, mesmerized by the storm. So, yes, I can understand the fascination. I do think storms teach us a great deal.. They are powerful, beautiful, and they leave us washed clean, refreshed. And even in the face of destruction, they leave hope.Linda Glazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374683352435771715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-49622929108801736172014-07-28T11:43:16.368-04:002014-07-28T11:43:16.368-04:00Your blog title caught my attention.

I've got a lot of my Dad in me. :)<br />This post is full of encouragement, so thanks for that. The Lord has used storms (agent rejection, long periods of waiting) to teach me humility. Without Him, I'm nothing. Then He uses fun things (like a contest win) to remind me He's watching over me.<br />God is good.

But now and then we all need to hear there's hope and to keep at until we find our breakthrough.Linda Glazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374683352435771715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-11921162149575830812014-07-28T10:53:20.201-04:002014-07-28T10:53:20.201-04:00Your post is like an exclamation point to our serm...Your post is like an exclamation point to our sermon yesterday based on Mark 4:35-41.<br /><br />Jesus was asleep on the boat in the storm and the disciples woke him because they feared dying in the storm. Jesus will help us weather the storms of life. <br /><br />In my writing life he's given me encouragement through people like you. Thanks for all you do!<br /><br />Blessings!<br /><br />Jackie Laytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11921544145225306649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443765296489868573.post-6084679479075019252014-07-28T10:43:47.491-04:002014-07-28T10:43:47.491-04:00Excellent encouragement, Linda.
