About the Reflections. 

The story of Jesus and his disciples in the boat has always been a favorite reminder of God's ability to quiet the waves of any storm in our lives. In the midst of routine waves and wind, that are part of life, where all I wanted to do was get to land, or the other side of a situation or problem. I believed that only then would I be able to see what God was trying to teach me, from the safety of shore. 

​

Maybe it was then that I realized that it was in the boat, the height of the storm was where sometimes I heard God the loudest.  And maybe because we often find that waves come more often than we realize or that land is not where we hunger for God's answers and seek His face but it's in when we need Him the most.

​

My storms are no different than yours. In these past 36 years of life, I've surpassed what was expected for anyone born with Cystic Fibrosis born in 1984; there have been failures, disappointments, heartbreak, and struggles. Yet God has been faithful. Just a few weeks ago, my boat was shaken in the most profound way by the extremely unexpected death of my dad one beautiful Saturday afternoon. I know that right now many of us have so many questions, so many storms to calm, and so many questions for God. 

​

It's from the rocking boat where I write today, with a shaky hand but my prayer and purpose for these writings is for God to bring forth light and revelation through each of us that will tell these waves "peace and be still." That God can use this journey and these writings to reveal Himself to us, bring us hope, and the peace that surpasses all understanding.

​

Looking forward to what God has in store for us!
