~Wind Blown~ - Faith Sisters Scrapbooking Gallery

I liked how all the circles reminded me of the wind blowing around and around. This is just me drivin’ along the coast and enjoying the smell of the ocean and the feel of the wind in my hair. And I think you planned this challenge as another sneaky way to try and get me to tell my age =)

JOURNALING:
In my life, I like to have a sense of control. If things get blown out of my control, then I tend to worry. I can worry over the smallest little thing like do my earrings match my outfit, to something major like is my plane going to crash? And I have learned…the hard way I might add…that my worrying over any of these things is NOT going to change the final outcome. God has a plan for my life. Yes my life might be blown around a bit like a boat on the ocean, but God is in control. He is steering my life in the direction that HE wants, the direction that will glorify HIM the most. And with the acceptance of this promise comes absolute and complete freedom for me to just enjoy life. What better person to put my trust in than my Father in Heaven. He knows what is best for me, way more than I do. So I have learned to stop trying to steer my life in the direction that ~I~ want it to go in, let God be in control and just lean back and enjoy the ride~!

Bible Verse:
And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care if we perish?" And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?" And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?"
Mark 4:36-41
