Travels through the storm

I took these pictures a week ago as John and I drove back. Shortly after we left, there was a huge storm. We were surrounded by dark and scary clouds. The rain poured and the lightening flashed. As we continued on, the storm was replaced by mist all around us. The sun set and the mist turned into a breathtaking sight.

There are so many parallels between our drive back and recent events. Losing our child, was the worst storm we've ever experienced. But as the days go by, there is also beautiful hope that carries us through. Many times when were driving, it looked like we would just disappear into the mist. The future is very foggy. I don't know what will happen tomorrow... but God is the one who is holding tomorrow, working everything, even pain and sadness together for good. And that is a beautiful thing! :-)
