                          Out on the Sea



    What helps me to keep motivated is reading biographies of people who have overcome their fears.  One story that showed up on my homepage was a story about a young girl who was orphaned at sea.

   Her family had planned on going on this vacation for quite some time.  They saved enough money and were planning on making sea life long term.  However,  there were some others on the boat as well,  Terri Jo Duperrault's family was murdered while on their vacation and Terri was able to escape.
  
   Terri was able to jump out of the boat and was able to escape the terrible tragedy.  By faith,  Terri was able to survive four days on the water without food or drink.  Another ship passed by and the captain was able to rescue her and bring Terri to safety.   Now Terri is able to work on the water herself and enjoy her job even after the awful tragedy that happened some 50 years ago.

  I can't help to think that's just how God is with us.  He will always be there to help us to safety as long as we do our little part.  No matter how small or big the trial I may face in life, I hope I can always be a blessing to someone else.   

   Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.   Jonah 1:11 KJV

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

Thoughtful Thursday

If God Be For Us 31 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies; 34 who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?[e] 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, “For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from...
