prayer 8.4.15

dark cloud gather in horizon, looming thickness preceding storm threatening to shut out sun stretched out in blue sky.  it is early morning, i feel grateful for ABa’s Defense.  mauna kea is clear, muted in purple against bright blue sky feels welcoming.  our family had plans to go over saddle road to enjoy sandy beaches on other side of island but with hurricane approaching, we are staying home bracing for storm, winds, rains.  last year iselle made land fall around the same time.  storm was downgraded from hurricane to tropical storm, albeit having been through countless cyclones living in southern hemisphere, it was nothing like what i experienced.  day of storm was intensely ferocious, more violent than tropical storms i had been through.  giant trees were downed, area hit was out of electricity for over a month with entire areas wiped out of trees.  i don’t recall something as agonizing as iselle’s passing.  ABa’s Protective Presence was very Palpable, Shielding us from damage with exception of downed tree in our driveway.  more Acute and Vehement was ABa’s Abiding Presence Covering our little family in the rainforest.  i felt Safe in ABa’s Embrace then, even more so now a year later, Comforted in ABa’s Faithful Devotion, Eternal Ceaseless Unrestrained LOVE AMeN.
