Mother Nature

Last night I fell asleep while laying Carson down for bed. I woke up around 11ish and had noticed the windows were shut so I assume that Alex was home from hanging out with my sister's boyfriend. Back to sleep I go.. Maybe 15 to 30 mins later, Alex turned the hallway light on, I yelled to him to shut the light off and he came in and i repeat, shut the light off and he gives me a hand signal of what looked like the tornado sign language. I freaked out and held Carson by the leg, just to keep him by me as I seriously thought there was a tornado. I had knew that it was storming out as i could see and feel it during my sleep. After seeing that hand signal from Alex, i said my prayers asking Him for extra protection as I didn't know what to do if there was a tornado, we don't have a basement and Carson is in just his diaper. It was humid that night so didn't want him to sleep uncomfortable by sweating in bed. I didn't have my C.I. on so I wasn't exactly sure what he was trying to tell me with his hands but I did catch the part when he was telling me that its REALLY windy out and that the car was shaking when driving home. Many thoughts was running through my mind at that time, I was thinking.. i need to go grab the sling to keep Carson near me, should i go grab the pictures?, should we sit in the shower?, that typical disastrous stuff that runs through your mind. Thankfully, nothing happened, although 2 roads in front of us is a mess.. (3rd ave east) Theres a huge pine tree was was ripped out of the ground by its roots. (Too bad it wasn't our ugly pine tree.) Big tree branches on houses, shingles ripped off of the roof, greenhouse is missing its top in some areas and walls are knocked down.. So maybe there was a tornado? or just the super powerful wind did it.. But either way, I'm very thankful that God took care of us. Its amazing how Mother Nature can scare us but still feel comfort at the same time from God.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." ~Psalm 91:1-2
