I've been thinking a lot about the story of Peter and Jesus where they are out on a stormy sea. Jesus gets out and starts walking on the water, so Peter thinks, "hey, I want to try that too!" But as Jesus calls to him, Peter looks down at the water. It's too much for him to bear. He sees the crashing waves, the deep water, probably an abundance of sea life beneath his feet. He starts to sink.
I feel like I am at a point right now where Jesus has called me out of the boat onto the water ... and either I can get scared about things I think I see, or I can trust Jesus. Chances are there will be days when I begin to sink, but right now I'm learning to trust Jesus and come to His call for me to follow Him out onto the raging sea.
Join me on the water. I'll be the one walking with Jesus with the duck floatie around my waist (I mean you still have to be careful). Someday soon, maybe I'll even shed the duckie.
