STORMY TIMES WILL TEACH YOU TO SAIL


Mark 4:35-39New International Version (NIV)

35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat.There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

Yes, today was on the "stormy" side.  My ship was in a squall.  I prayed, oh how I prayed....
There was a Dr. appointment that brought me to tears.  Sometimes we are expected to know how others feel... this was a preparation for me.  To learn, I needed help in the storm.  He sent me my nurses; Meagan and Kim!!
Have you ever heard that song, "You Find Out Who Your Friends Are"?

 God gives us friends and family who can help guide your ship.  Angel shipmates perhaps!

No, I am not afraid.  Jesus helped me with my shipmates today and the storm has calmed. I am still being taught how to sail on this journey!
