Something I wanted to share yesterday..one thing I can't let go is my attitude of independence. Ever since I was young, I had to be the older one. Emotionally I couldn't really rely on anyone. So I held a lot of things in and tried to deal with it myself because I knew there wasn't anyone who could help. Something God has been teaching me throughout the years is that "You're not alone." When I get into the "independent" mode, I get more lost. Haha.
But it's amazing how God, even after ALL this time, speaks to me and wants me to come back EVERY TIME! This weekend has made me realize a lot of things...it's a work in progress :)
Have a blessing week ladies!!

thanks for your post, innie. i thought it was so telling that in the passage, the whole journey takes a turn for the worse when the centurion, instead of listening to paul, follows the advice of the pilot and the owner of the ship. so many times we are just like that centurion. we hear the Word of the Lord, but follow what seems to be a more desirable course because we are in a hurry to do what we want to do. what seems to be the easier, more convenient course turns out to be a certifiable disaster that often adversely affects not only us but others too.
paul's faith and resolve does not waver even in the face of every possible thing going wrong due to someone's else's lack of wisdom. when this happens to us, as it did to paul, we must still trust, as paul did, that God is in complete control and command of the "ship", and that He is more than able to deliver us from all evil.
