It started pouring before E-Commerce today. As I was walking to Nussbaum, I asked God, "If you're going to have it pour like this, why isn't there any awesome lightning?" I kept walking, made it to Nussbaum, and there was still no lightning. I walked out of E-Commerce with the sky being this strange orange color and yet again saw no lightning. I headed to the Orchestra Concert and enjoyed that immensely, but was again slightly disappointed that there was no lightning. After that, the sky was still a strange orange color and I continued my night with Zumba. After an intense workout, I headed out once again towards Gerig. God finally rewarded me with some stunning lightning.

Then I began to contemplate my blessing of lightning. God showers (hah, pun) so many blessings on me each day and I rarely take the time to appreciate them. So, a little project I've created for myself is to detail 7 blessings every day. The kicker is that they must be 7 unique blessings about that specific day with no repeats.
I originally said 5 blessings, but 7 is my favorite number and I'm convinced it's also God's favorite number.  My hope is that soon I'll be able to recognize little blessings everywhere and that coming up with 7 blessings will become natural.
