Come Clean

It is storming at school right now, and I love it!

I never thought thunderstorms would be something I missed, but they are! March at home is full of them, along with tornado warnings. I used to be terrified of them (I've written about that before), but now I love them!

The weather was getting ready for this storm all day. It was slightly overcast and windy. I loved walking outside with the wind blowing my hair and clothes. And then, when it first started raining, I didn't even put the hood of my rainjacket up. It felt so good!

The weather reminded me that I am alive. That sounds weird, but I've been so trapped in studying that I forgot I was something more than a mind in a student. I have such a greater purpose than studying! Yes, studying is important (and don't worry, Mama and Daddy, I am studying a lot), but it is not my identity. I really needed to be reminded of that, and God used the weather today to do so!

Karen had the window slightly cracked open, and I've left it that way. I'll study in my room listening to the storm until I brave the waters and go to dinner. It'll be an adventure, and I'm already excited about it! :)
