The other day I was on my way home on the bus. It was a particularly sunny and beautiful day and I heard Father whisper in my ear "Come away with me." I got off at the next stop and walked back into Kirkland and sat on the edge of the dock. The wind was perfect and there were so many sailboats out on the water, I just sat alone with Papa on a much needed Daddy/Daughter date. The waves were very choppy because of the wind and occasionally a stray wave would leap up and tickle the bottom of my feet. I loved it and every time it happened I would smile and tell Father how happy I was.
Finally Father directed my gaze downward and I looked into the wild waves, He told me to look deeper and as I did a school of fish caught my eye. They were swimming perfectly in formation and I was struck by the fact that they moved smoothly underneith the choppy surface of the water. And then Father said quietly "It's crazy on top but it's calm and peaceful underneith. That's how I want you to be. When life is crazy you'll have peace underneith it all." I frowned and asked Him "But how? I'm never calm underneith!" And He answered "Just know and trust that it's I who move the wind."
Happy thought.
