A few weeks ago while I was praying with my friend Phyllis, the Lord gave me a mental picture of Jesus sleeping in the boat while His disciples were in a panic. A severe storm appeared of hurricane proportions and Jesus was in a peaceful sleep. His disciples tried to handle the situation by themselves, but only growing more frightened as the winds howled and the boat tossed violently. His disciples decided to wake up the Lord and tell them that they were about to perish. As I watched the Lord open His eyes the peace that radiated from His eyes was amazing. Jesus spoke to the storm and it instantly calmed down. Suddenly the peace I saw in His eyes transcended to the storm and just the sound of His voice and the authority He possessed resulted in a miracle. The storm stopped and His disciples were amazed.
Then I hear in my heart the voice of the Holy Spirit telling me this is the peace I want you to have. When I said my peace I give to you I was referring to the peace that passes understanding. There is no storm on land or on the sea that I will not be with you. You need not fear the future because I am with you wherever you go.
Last Sunday my dear friend Phyllis and her family left the OYCM for the Bahamas . This morning our dear friends Myron and Dena also left the Marina for the Bahamas. There are only a handful of live a boarders that are still living here since we moved to the OYCM almost five years ago. Many new people have come and gone but the original group have truly dwindled,
Now after years of planning it looks like Rich, Lucky and I are getting ready to leave the dock. An exciting but fearful moment. Yes that is why I believe that I was blessed to have that vision in my head a few weeks ago. New adventures and experiences are waiting for us and very soon we will be leaving here. Most of the projects on the Morningstar are completed. If the weather is good this coming weekend we will drop the hook and dinghy and teach Lucky to learn how to climb aboard the dinghy from the sundeck. I am so thankful I have the picture of Jesus in my head and the promise of His peace and presence with us. I am also happy that I know my treasured friends will be safe in the arms of Jesus because they love Him dearly and are out on the waterways sharing His love with other boaters. We are so Blessed!
Be Blessed!
