the beauty of a storm

as the lightning strikes and thunder rolls, i'm left here in my almost dead-silent house, awake and kind of lonely. the constant pitter-patter of the rain makes me want to grab my bike and ride over to the park... which i can't do, as it's almost midnight.

have you ever gone to the park, and sat on a swing, and just listened? just felt the smallness? every time i go to the park alone, i sit there, feeling so large (heh... i'm quite a few years older than most of the people i usually find there), yet so small at exactly the same time. i look up to the sky, and realize, every single time, how small i really am. i am one of millions and millions of people in this WORLD... and to think that this planet isn't alone... there's OTHER planets, even larger than the one we occupy... there's stars that make the sun look puny. and there's a God.... my God... who CREATED it all... he MADE it! he made ME.

and well, we messed it up. we messed up this perfect world he made for us. but you know... he sent his son to die... as a loop-hole for us. for me. so that we could be with him. because he loves us THAT MUCH. he loves ME that much. because he wants to be with us. with me!

he STILL loves me... after all i've done... after all my sins... he still loves me.

astounds me every time i think about it. leaves me speechless.
