Sometimes when it feels like God’s breaking our anchor — He’s really breaking our idols —- what we were holding on to more than we were holding on to Him.Read more here.
Sometimes God allows all our anchors to break —- so we know the only unbreakable anchor we have is Him.
...Overwhelming waves can carry you into the open arms and overwhelming love of God.
...Wisdom isn’t a function of considering great amounts of knowledge —
it’s the wise who continually consider the great, steadfast love of God.
...Thanksgiving isn’t only a celebration when good things happen —- thanksgiving is a declaration that God is good no matter what happens. No matter what earthquake hits, no matter what waves loom, no matter what tsunami hit on some unsuspecting day.
Because one day we’re all guaranteed to wake up and it will feel like all our anchors of this world have broke.
...And there can be great calm of His steadfast love that washes over every willing and surrendered soul.
This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.
