It’s pouring where I am right now, like actually down pouring and typical me, thought once the rain chills out the waves will be oh so glassy. But when it rains as hard as it is right now the ocean turns brown from the canal water overflowing. And the Lord reminded me abut this one instance when I did go surfing after a major down pour and there were super fun 2-3 ft waves but absolutely no one was in the water. Super unusual because it was at Kailua beach (look it up,its aaaalways packed) yet I still went out to surf haha. After 20 minutes or so I started getting spooked because of how eerie it felt and so I prayed. I prayed God would shoo all the sharks away, I mean unless it’s His will for me to be a Bethany Hamilton 2.0. Even though I prayed I still wouldn’t dare put my feet off my surfboard. So while I was sitting on my board criss-cross apple sauce waiting for THE wave, I kid you not it felt exactly like some one had pushed me off of my board. As what happens when someone pushes you, ya fall. So as I was in the water scrambling to get back on my board I heard the Lord (not audibly) telling me YOU PRAYED, SO TRUST ME. And I felt like sucha dummy for not thinking the God who can walk on water and split the sea can’t shoo some meezly sharks away. After that boost of confidence that my God is THAT big & awesome I took a nice swim. Afterwards a couple that were paddle boarding came near me and said “the water’s pretty murky, aren’t you kind of scared?” I responded with a smile and said “nope”. So now at this moment I feel God telling me while I am slightly worrying about fundraising all this money for this trip that He HASN’T changed,that He is still the same God. He is still faithful, still the God of impossible and still bigger than all my problems and worries. These truths still comfort me.
