breaking the hush

“So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus. But when he noticed the strong wind, he was afraid and started to sink down in the water.” Matthew 14:29-30 (Good News Translation)

Have you ever been to the point where, like Peter, you trusted God so much that you too were able to step out of the boat? To walk on water? Have you ever trusted Him that much? I mean trust with your LIFE?! Your FUTURE?!

A few months ago I got a letter from a friend, she wrote, “Lately, the Lord has really been dealing with me on TRUSTING Him…completely. It’s easy to say, ‘yes, of course I trust you, duh,’ But do I really trust Him completely…100%…in every. single. situation. no. matter. how. big. or small.” She is so right and hit it head on! I was one of those people that would say, “yes, of course I trust you, duh!” But in the journey I’m on now, that trust has been tested. Honestly, I went from “yes, of course I trust you, duh!” to “I don’t know,” to “how can I,” to finally where I stand now, “How CAN’T I? I now feel that until you step out onto that water with “trust” and then in the midst of the storm, with the wind blowing, rain pounding, and thunder rolling, you begin to sink and die, God reaches out, even though you lost focus, maybe even lost trust for a minute, and when you come out of that storm, in your Father’s arms –That is when you know that you TRUST Him…completely…100%…in. every. single. situation. no. matter. how. big. or small!

*To the only lady I know that can share her heart for God, family, and teddy bears with perfect balance, and to the one who showed me how attainable seeing the face of God really is! I love you and Happy Birthday Celina and Ruby!!!*
