Moving with the wind.

Well, I was forced to move once again. The new apartment/new roommate/a surprise second roommate didn't work out. I'm staying back on the other side again in Kahului. I'm basically staying in my dream home, in Maui. God's favour? I don't know anymore.

The last couple months have been intensely difficult. I've been hurt by more friends than ever before. Actually, I've been hurt by more faithful, church going Christians than ever before. The list is long of the hurts I've been through, (and the places I've lived...) in the last 5 months.

I started work a bit late yesterday, so I walked down to the beach on my way to work. I sat down and just prayed and spent time with God, (half crying and half laughing at the last 5 months.)

God gave me a vision of myself as a sailor. He showed me that the wind are all of these circumstances; they will push me where He wants me to go. I just need to harness the wind, take hold of it, journey with it and allow it to take me where He is going. God showed me that when we are in the open sea, we can't see the shore. North, East, South, West, it all looks the same on the water. You can't even know where to aim the boat, how to harness the wind, without a compass, which is His Word. By holding true to what I've been taught, pointing my boat and allowing the wind to take me, I'm walking in His way.

So, what's next for me? Well, God only knows where my boat is headed. I can't see the shore. The storm is strong and scary, but I know He has me, firm in His grasp. Right now, I'm just going to harness the wind, live for the moment, and press deeper into the God who directs my path.

Praise God that He knows the way. Praise God that He is never surprised by circumstance. He knows and knew about all of this. Let the wind take you.
