Today & Tornadoes

Today, there were tornadoes. I was sitting on the couch in the ComArts building outside of the offices of some of the most well-respected professors I know. I waded through water to get to building 36 to sit on that couch...I had a Integrated Research Communication examination at the 11th hour and I needed to brush up on the material. While studying, I overheard one of the professors telling another, "The waters were so high on the road that I resorted to praying; it was just that bad." Resorted, eh? Interesting. I had to meet with a professor in that building and when I entered her office, it hit me. The wonder of it all. The terror. From a window in her office, I looked at the wind that was furociously whipping the trees and buildings surrounding. Suddenly sirens began to sound and we were all rushed into an interior hallway. The storm was approaching. I could not help but be in awe of Him. He is in control of it all. The terror of the waters rising and buildings crumbling. Insanity that I place such restraints on Him that I do. Even mentioning them, I feel so small and idiotic. When I arrived home, I read this article on www.desiringgod.org about natural disasters and the hand of God in them.
