Uncertainty
I remember standing in Lima, Peru as an 8.0 earthquake hit. I was standing on what I thought was solid ground, but it wasn't, it was swaying underneath me like a rising wave.
Today I feel like that too...I am sitting in Florence, Italy one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and yet my world around me is so uncertain.
I am so thankful that I have God to hold onto that just as he was in control during the earthquake He is in control now. I just have to give Him that control of my own life, so that I won't be shaken.
Right now I feel like the disciples did when they were on the Sea of Galilee and the storm was so big and the waves were crashing so high they woke Jesus up and asked if he was going to do anything...didn't he know they were going to drown. Jesus just said, "Oh ye of little faith"
I feel like that right now...like I am looking at the waves and wondering if God's seeing what I am seeing...but He is..even when it seems like God is "sleeping" he really has it all figured out and is using these times of trying to see if I have faith that He is in control...no matter how high the waves get.
So I have taken a step of faith tonight and made a choice...that I will follow Jesus, even when I am afraid of what "might" happen...I will trust in God. I hope you will do the same.
Grace

One of my old day was recalled when I was sleeping at night and suddenly my bed starts shaking. It was a mild earth quake but was horrible and all the people in our building were just scared.
