Waves

Sometimes we make our own waves through doubt…lack of knowledge…or quick tempers…but through faith and when our eyes are set on things not of this world, that is when true blessings flow. This morning, I had the privilege of an early morning swim alone. I was quiet and still and watched a falcon soar high above, past the peak of the trees, and yet far under the sliver of what was left visible of a thin crescent moon. I heard birds sing and chirp, insects stretch their wings and rub their legs together in triumph. Then, I made my own waves. Yet, these waves were full of God’s love and energy…and extremely rejuvenating. And now I sit and watch the waves calm… my heart and soul are still in awe of his presence, my doubt wiped clean, my mind fresh… and I am ready for what today will bring!  Matthew 8:26 “He replied, ‘You of little faith, why are you so afraid?’ Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.”
