We were driving to NYC tonight and almost the entire way there, we drove through a massive storm. When the unnerving washout conditions cleared a bit, the hail stopped and the fog let up, we were able to spend the next few hours just soaking in the beauty of the most awe-inspiring lightning display I have ever seen. As we drove through the mountains, multi-colored bolts reached in all directions, stretching their fingers across the night sky toward each other or down to touch the tips of peaks, illuminating bodies of water and entire ranges we didn't know existed only moments before.
I've never seen something more magnificent.
The lightning made show of its strength and power against the darkness. Unexpected. Majestic. Being in the presence of such a force kind of makes your heart crazily giddy and reverently hushed all at the same time.
God is really skilled at crafting beautiful paradox inside Her creation. Encounters like the one my family shared in the car tonight fantastically reflect the paradox that exists within God's very nature and leaves us struck silent with overwhelming wonder at the mystery of it all.
