This picture of Snoqualmie Falls was taken a few days after its peak flood level. When it is flooding like this, the normal viewing deck is nearly unusable because the spray rushes up the banks thicker than the rain coming down. Without a full rain suit, it drenches clothes in moments.
Storms remind me of turmoil that might happen in our lives. Sometimes it even storms outside while some problem happens inside. But we have hope that God sees our troubles and cares about us.
He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed.
Psalm 107:29
When things are tough, that is a good time to look for positives to change our thinking. May the storms in your life be calmed to a whisper as you find joy in your life.
