'Charm is deceptive, beauty is fleeting- but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised'

Easy way out.

Ugh, and I sometimes wish that we didn't need people. That we didn't need relationships. I sometimes wish that all I needed was Papa and I'd be okay. That I didn't have to work at everything and that life would just pass by. Or at least I'd be able to go Home right when I accepted Jesus as Lord and savior. It'd be so much easier. Wouldn't it?

'If you want to walk on water, you need to get out of the boat.'
-John Ortberg


Hah, totally correct. If I want to get to Jesus, I need to get out of my comfort zone. I need to make the CHOICE to step out of the boat even in this crazy storm. Even with the lightning and thunder. Even when the waves are crazy. Even when I dont know how to swim. It's a CHOICE to draw closer to Jesus. I need to BELIEVE I can walk on water so not knowing how to swim shouldn't matter. It shouldn't even be a worry. I need to just keep my eyes focused on Jesus, and I know - I'll get to him. Even when everything else proves otherwise.

GET OUT OF THE BOAT IVONY.
