so. its been sorta dreary and rainy the last couple days here in the hky. well. we went to go eat then to go to bstud which is across campus from our dorm. so we drove cause it was sorta sprinkly and they were calling for rain. no rain before dinner. some rain from dinner to bstud. get out of bstud. it is pouring. like not just raining hard. sheets of water are coming down. and of course none of us brought an umbrella or anything (not that that would really help in this...) so we ran to the car. some slipped. some lost phones and bibles. drove to our dorm. ran back to our rooms. the steps leading down to our dorm have been conveniently converted into a babbling waterfall. and the usually little puddles at the bottom are now ponds. got completely soaked. it will take at least a day for my sneakers and jeans and sweater to dry out. its one of those rains where every piece of ground is wet. like in at least a fourth inch of water. not just wet, shallow river quality. now. usually such rain is looked down upon. it isnt really great to get soaking wet and freezing. but. i'm finding the amazingness in this. the amazing power that God has given His creation, to make all of this rain come down at once. the memories made of running through the rain. if it was warmer rain, i'd dance in it. it's a bit cold though, dancing might risk hypothermia... and the way the steps are a waterfall. i could stand under the covered part and just stand and listen to the rain and the waterfall noises all night. there is good in everything. even torrential downpours that threaten to ruin your leather shoes.
Superchick - Stand In The Rain
