I am not quite back into blogging yet but this was worthy enough to take a break from school and blog about. I stayed up until 230 am working on this big project that is due on Tuesday. I went to bed and eventually fell asleep, but not more than two hours later Jonathan and I jump out of bed from being startled awake by a loud noise and the house shaking. We were both confused and didn't know what happened so we looked out the window. I asked Jonathan "was that an earthquake?" but he just rolled over and went to sleep. My initial reaction was that it was an earthquake, but I didn't think that earthquakes made loud noise. So I sat there, heart racing from being woken up so suddenly, trying to figure out what just happened. I thought maybe a bomb went off somewhere or our upstairs neighbor was jumping up and down really hard. As soon as I woke up a few hours later, I asked Jonathan what it was and to check the Internet and see what happened. I told him I thought for sure it was an earthquake but he didn't believe me. He said he didn't even know that our whole house was shaking! Our Internet was down so I turned on the news- and there it was -5.2 earthquake in Illinois. (you can read more about it here)
"Hah! I told you so! I knew it was an earthquake!," I screamed at Jonathan.
Okay I know that most people figured it out right away (it doesn't take a genius to figure out that when your whole house is shaking, something is going down; to my credit though I was asleep) but I am just a small-town Idaho girl. We don't have tornadoes or floods or ginormous thunderstorms or earthquakes or any of the rest of the crazy stuff that goes on here in the Midwest.
So there you go. My first earthquake. Thankfully it didn't cause much damage or hurt anyone (so far as I know)
p.s. I was talking to my friends at school about it- they all thought it was Jesus coming back and were listening for the trumpet :)
p.s. I am sorry that I got your hopes up last post about Jonathan coming back as a guest writer. I don't know what happened to that guy. I may have to kick him off as punishment.

Haha! I love this post! I cracked up when you said your friends were listening for the trumpet--because that's totally something I would have done too! Glad you're ok, Sage! ;)
Guess what small-town Idaho girl? We had an earthquake here a couple months ago. Well, it was in Nevada but we felt it here too. When I heard about the one out your way I thought about the verse that says earthquakes in the end times will be like labor pains, getting closer and closer together. Anyway, glad you're okay. :)
so scary, right? we've now experienced an earthquake too! It's a weird feeling! Glad you're all okay!
