so i got a new bike

but thats not what this is really about...last night i had an unbelievable experience. thats what this entry is about. fort lauderdale had a huge storm last night, i found out today that there was even a tornado involved in this storm, but last night there was an unreal amount of lightning all around my house. i currently live on the 4th story of a 4 story loft type place, i dont really know what to call it, anyways i live on the top. so i got the bright idea to go up onto the roof last night during this storm in the middle of the night to get a better look at what was going on, when i climbed up my ladder to the roof, i was literally to scared to stand up, lightning was everywhere, literally right over my head, you know the kind that stays in the sky though, and it was in just about every direction around me. there was probably one bolt of lightning per second i was up there. i immediately started to retreat, but stopped and decided to sit halfway on the roof and halfway still in my room. it was incredible. the sky was constantly being lit up in all different colors, and the thunder was almost untolerable it was so loud...you know the kind of thunder that you feel just as much as you hear it...so while i was up there and as my courage increased i went all the way onto the roof again and just was overwhelmed by how small i was. how small i was and how big God is, i couldnt get away from that, and i couldnt help but think that anyone who would have been up there with me would have felt the same exact way. it was inescapable.
i think whats beautiful about this is that i was so right. i am small, i am insignificant, i and a molecule of dust on this planet, yet God still involves himself in my life, God still cares for me and loves me. i cannot even fathom what loving an ameoba would be like, but thats probably the best analogy to God and my relationship. the ameoba is so insignificant compared to me, but i am significant to God, and thats a beautiful thing...welp off to work for me...oh and my bike is sweet, ill try and put pics up soon
