Crashes

It's our 3rd day in Fort Dauphin, Madagascar, it's our flight day = leaving. 😢

There's barely much tourist here, a hard place to get to with the road conditions.

As I watch the 3(Drew, Rebecca & Kotie) ran out into the ocean, I remember the song Oceans. So I started playing it on my phone as I'm typing this. They have already pass the break of waves(where it crashes). I managed to did it yesterday too! Out of breath and almost drowned is how I would call it. Thank God I'm still alive to experienced AND see all of His creations. I have my coffee with me.

The sound of the oceans is drowning the "Oceans". I can barely hear the lyrics. How can I stand in the deep oceans? Thinking back about how tough it was to get pass the breaking waves and to be floating somehow in fear of more crashing waves. I managed to hold out for awhile without the crazy waves and just float and catch my breath. But once that's done, it seems like the waves are coming in again, and we need to go deeper into the oceans. I was fearful.

How can 1 have faith at such difficult times like these?

We have to go deeper. Yes. Deeper. I need to search up the science of how the waves start forming into crashes, to know more about His creation. But from where I'm seated and looking at the waves, the shallower you're at, the more crashes(challenges). Is that why people always says "dig deeper"?

The deeper you go, you will not be standing on solid ground, but on solid faith! "My faith will stand", I will rest in the "embrace" of Your waves so my faith will rise. "I'll keep my eyes above the waves" from Your vantage point, so I will not fear.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121:1-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Amen.

Lord, I will lift up my eyes to You.

Even when tough times come, I will trust in You. Take me deeper so my faith will grow. Let me not loose sight of you and of what You want to do in my life. I will fix my eyes on you. There's so many times I fail, I can't do it on my own, but You lead me please. Not let my pride or self-sufficiency ever take control. I do have fears, but let faith(even as small as a mustard seed) rule over it.
