I've always been a runner. Not the kind that wins races or jumps on a treadmill. More like the self will, self seeking, relying on my own, type of runner. I always seem to get myself into situations that take my focus of a particular goal. And what do I do when I begin to loose hope? I run. I've tried every which way not to face reality. In the end however I am thankful that I remember my creator. I remember who I belong to. To trust God and rely on Him is not easy and I'm speaking for myself. My impatience and faith seem to dwindle and I feel as if there is no hope. That's when I stick my hand in and pretty much say "I got this one God, you just chill and watch my back. " But that's not the way God works. God is always in control and He is always going to prove to me that without Him I am nothing and with Him I am everything. When I am tired and exhausted I go to my secret hideout. It's a part of me. People in my town call it Bubbies Dock. They use it to fish and launch their boats in the water. To meet up and signify. As for me, it's the one place I can go and feel an absolute connection with God. I stare out into the waters and turn myself over. I pray and listen. And in those moments I feel protected. I feel free. And I am renewed once again to continue on Life's journey with Trust in God.
