It's been a while....

How life turns and flows. I think I finally have it figured out and then a new path I do not know. I suppose some must love this random ever changing flow as it means new adventures and the excitement of the unknown. For me, well...I find I don't like change. But...life is Full of it. So often I feel like I am drowning in the strong and heavy currents of life's river or feel like I am being spun and turned in the oceans strong and relentless waves. I try and walk just above the water line on the oceans beaches often afraid of the water teasing at my feet. What is this? The fear of the unknown and being out of control. It has amazed me how something so incredibly strong and powerful as the ocean can also be such a beautiful place of rest and peace. Then, I think. That is life. In the world we will have tribulation. God tells us it will be so. Then He says. Don't worry, I have overcome the world. When I feel like I am out of control and do not know what to cling to, God says, I am here. He is the only unchanging, constant, and ever present help. I need Him in the good and the bad. I can not truly live without my Savior at my side. Anything less is no life at all. So, today...I don't have all the answers, I don't know the future, and I'm not familiar with this road I travel, but this I know. God is with me. He loves Me. He will never leave me. He will never forsake me. He will give me rest. He will be my comforter. He knows the plans He has for me. So as Peter on the water. I shall look to God as He guides me through the waters of life and will not let me sink. Thank you God! I can stand on the shore watching such power, but afraid to enter it or I can look to God, put one foot in front of the other and walk on water and live.
