Sailing with strength 

On a windy day, this teen found herself dumped into the ocean when her sailboat capsized. She’d never been able to right a boat by herself before. What would make the difference this time?

Saved in a blizzard

In those moments of feeling God’s presence, of feeling the vastness of divine Love, the unstoppability of Life, the stages of grief seemed to evaporate like a mist when the sun shines through. 
Wisdom’s voice can be heard and accepted. It can win the day for individuals and for nations.
Moment by moment, I listened quietly to God’s messages of love. It was a yielding, a letting go of human struggling and striving, but not in a fatalistic way. It was more like handing the problem over to a loving parent.
I had a thought that I might find a best friend very soon. I think that might have been God talking to me because of what happened next.

Decisive joy 

If I feel as if I’ve lost my joy, I go looking for it! And I keep searching until I find it. I pray about joy, for myself and for the world. Joy comes from knowing God, loving God, and being grateful for God’s love for all.
