we went camping last night, despite the forecast for strong thunderstorms.

but i'm glad we did.

we set up the tent (that's jonathan's amazing new one!) before any sign of rain and got to enjoy a nice campfire with chats and s'mores.

and then God amazed us with his light show. watching lightning in the distance and feeling the thunder roll felt surreal. is it cheesy to say i felt more alive? ok, well label me cheesy then. once the rain did start gently falling, i was reluctant to get in the tent right away. i found myself spinning around, enjoying the feeling of raindrops on my face, light bursts in the sky, and the ground trembling from thunder. His power was awesome and tangible.
