Tornado-ed Wedding

Occasionally, I am asked to help cater with a catering team at my church. Well, this time it was for a wedding. All was proceeding normally, when the power went out. Then it started "raining cats and dogs" and the wind picked up. As I was carrying an empty tray from the cafe to the kitchen to be refilled, I heard the kitchen staff whispering about a tornado spotted on Holly Springs Rd (one of the streets that my church borders). I had never experienced a tornado before, so became a little tense. I have accepted Jesus as my Savior, so I knew that if anything happened to me, that I would go to be with Him, but I was nervous about the unknown. Slightly anxious yet trying to appear calm, we found someone with a resonant, deep voice to announce to the wedding guests that they needed to find shelter. The guests walked off, looking for an area without windows, while the kitchen staff and I went into the concrete kitchen without windows. We waited. At one point, I'm sure we heard a far off freight train, and at all times we could tell exactly where the tornado was, but praise God, we were left untouched. The tornado didn't come near us. His hand was upon us. Matthew 19: 20-31 "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows."


Anyway, I took some pictures of the wedding decorations, and I thought you'd like to see them!
