breath of heaven

The shrubs in the backyard are swaying like a line of doo-wop singers.  There's currently a wind advisory on top of the torrential rains we've been experiencing here in the Portland metro area.  Wind can uproot and disrupt, and even destroy.  Wind also scours and cleanses.  Sometimes God is in the still, small voice, but sometimes the Breath of Heaven comes in gusts.  I'm reminded to watch for the scouring and the cleansing, even when it might be easier to see the disruption.
