Calmer Thoughts!

Life is full of ups and downs! It's the down times that cause most people to trip up. I hope that as I age I can roll with the punches and enjoy even the toughest of times. I am currently in unchartered waters but trying to enjoy the tide. Riding the waves has always been a bit a of a challenge for me as I get seasick; really seasick. Like just walking out on the dock makes my stomach turn. So, what does a queasy person do when there is movement all around her? I have said for years I wanted to be made into the likeness of Christ, I am not sure that I should have signed up for that. That means my life is not my own, I must love the unlovely, be compassionate when I would rather not be, and serve with my whole being.....even if the recipient does not respond in like fashion. UGH? REALLY? If HE is the God of storm, surely HE has plan. I will trust HIM and find HIM faithful to lead and to guide me around, over, under or through this season of life. My thoughts are calm because I know who is in control, not because the waves of life have ceased.
