Who’s driving the ship?

Have you ever been so angry at someone your mind goes ballistic?

I know I have.

I am one of those people who doesn’t want to wait on anything! So waiting on God is tough!

God tells us that He will handle our enemies who have done us wrong.

He does things in his own time…. But occasionally, I like to step in and try to drive the ship, and eventually the storm sends me overboard. My God always picks me up when I’m gasping for breath and almost drowning. At just the right moment, He picks me up out of the ocean when I just cannot tread anymore. I have felt him wrap a towel around me and dry me off.

Karly dive in! Be totally abandoned to Jesus will!

He has never left me, nor forsaken me!

Are you one of those people who need to step in and drive God’s ship? I promise if we are patient our enemies will be driven out to sea! So instead of taking the wheel, just let God sail and give all your anger to him and be patient.

Treading ’til He comes,

Karly

About Yvonne Jones

I am at heart, a LIFEguard: "big" sister, mama, grandmother, aunt, friend, swimming coach, lifeguard trainer, and registered nurse. I am in the business of alleviating fear through education and lots of hand holding. As a swimming instructor, I have taught people of all ages to overcome fear of the water and I marvel as fear gives way to fearlessness, as panic turns to pure joy, as tears dissolve into giggles of glee, and pennies retrieved from the bottom of the abyss become trophies. As a nurse, I have been privileged to walk up to Heaven's gate as patients and family are welcomed home, witnessed the miracle of birth, helped mend broken hearts, and cared for the elderly as they wait. Scriptures number one admonition is "fear not." Question is HOW??? The Word becomes our swimming instructor and can help us learn to "tread water til Jesus comes." Something my students often thought I was going to make them do! So welcome to my pool! Jump in the cool water. Let it refresh your soul and feel the unseen hands of the Master Lifeguard lift you up and out of the deep water. Who knows, you just might even walk on water!
