11 days..."keep faith, carry on..."
"...Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
(Matthew 14:22-33)
...when it comes to faith, peter & i would be best friends...i am sinking, barely keeping my head above water and then Jesus grabs a hold of me, says its ok you don't have to do it alone, have faith...God gives us little things that help us along the way, today this was the gospel in church, this is exactly what i needed to hear...i know i cannot do it alone...i try or i think i have a better way of doing it and i start to sink; so over the last 3 decades this is my anthem, this is my reminder, this is my faith, some days i sink, some days i walk strong but one thing is for sure, i know either way i am not doing it alone...
