The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
-Psalm 19:1

Do you know that God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash?
-Job 37:15

Ma ma ma more mammatus!

So, after I enjoyed the thunderstorm and post pics of what I thought was an amazing sky, I walked out of the office a little later than I had planned because I wanted to get that posted... and this is what I was blessed with:Another spectacular mammatus show. I saw my first mammatus show last November, and it was an incredibly powerful and emotional experience. This one wasn't as spectacular as the first, but it grew into the sky, getting more and more defined as it moved in from the south southwest. It was gorgeous in that grey stormy sky, and I was once again mesmerized by God's awesomeness!

Revelation Song
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings
You are my everything, and I will adore You

Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be
To You, the only wise King

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your Name
Jesus, Your Name is power, breath and living water, such a marvelous mystery

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings
You are my everything, and I will adore You
I must have stayed there 20 minutes shooting the amazing mammatus sky...

The day progressed and we ran to Wally World to pick up a few things, but upon leaving, we were graced with a multi-dimensional sky, with a palette of colors and depths of clouds. It was phenomenal. No matter which direction we looked, the view of the sky was absolutely spectacular. Then, a quick look to my obscured west suggested that we might get an amazing show with what was left of the sunset, so I asked my wonderful groom to drive around into a better position to see the remnants... you're not going to believe this, but...... the mammatus made an encore appearance for sunset!!!

How great is our God?

  4. Congrats on the mammatus, Jenn! I pray that God blesses you with a mammatus display like the one I got the other night.

    Revelation Song is one of my most favorite songs! I swear, everytime I hear it I get so overcome that I hit my knees and start praying to God and just bask in the glow of His presence.

    I am planning a trip to New Mexico at the end of the week that will afford me a plethora of photography opportunities, to the point that I may have enough material to begin participating in Skywatch Friday again.

    Have a blessed weekend!
