Boats, Life, and Jesus

I finished Spanish! It has been quite the summer and as I wrap things up at home and look forward to a new semester, there are always thoughts. Mostly about how God is always there-in the mountains and the valleys. What we think is wrong, unfair, or uncomfortable may instead be just what we need. Also, from Mark and the story of the storm...you know, the one where the disciples are freaking out because there's a storm and Jesus is sleeping. One point that really hit me is that they forgot that Jesus was in the boat and what that meant-they had the solution, the source, the help but they couldn't see through the storm enough to access it, if you will. Sounds kinda like how when Peter walked on water and started to sink when he took his eyes off the Lord. Quite the challenge: Don't forget Jesus is in the boat with you!
