Not At A Loss for Words.- Red Sea Situations

This blog belongs to the humbled of God. Those who are open enough to consider that life trouble may not necessarily be a bad thing. That maybe the strength we gain from great difficulty may have great possibility and purpose. You are not alone. God wants to display our story, for His glory.

Not At A Loss for Words.

I found a cool site that allows me to put all my words together in a scramble like this. Sometimes I get lost with my words. Yet, I love the power of them. This entry today is about a young girl who didn’t lose face, and who definitely wasn’t at a loss for words. I read something today that was real good, so I want to share it.

(Go to her link on wordle to see what I wrote about her recent blog entry, HERE.)

A new hero of mine, Abby Sutherland wrote this :

“Storms are part of the deal when you set out to sail around the world.
As for age, since when does age create gigantic waves and storms? ”

I was searching and contemplating the answer to this – this morning in my spirit. Abby Sutherlund, the sixteen year old who followed her dream and had to be rescued from the middle of the Indian Ocean last week.

So many gathered around her and supported her mission and her blog to sail around the world. Many faulted her parents for even allowing such a deal to happen. I have to say I don’t have an opinion. What I admire most is her courage as she set about her quest.

I could be judgemental, (and I was at first…) but then I thought: how long do we really know we have to live? What if she only had seventeen years? Then she could say she accomplished at least half of her dream to sail around the world. It appears her rescue was not necessarily something she wanted. She was in a storm and no one could reach her, so apparently they had a rescue team sent out to find her.

So… I am without words for Abby. I definitely consider her to be very brave. But I do wonder how her family would have felt had she not made the journey. I prayed for Abby, on the Indian Ocean, the day I heard about it – June 10th – and I continued to pray until I heard she was fine. I believe God admires her bravery, but I believe He also silently said: “That’s enough”.

Read her story today… *AND* also 16 year old Jessica Watsons’ - she actually DID it — They might encourage YOU to go a little further!

This is amazing the story of Abby. I’ve heard of her story in the news and you are right it does give me courage to push a little further in my own personal endeavors!

I went to this wordle sight it was great! I also made one but then I couldn’t find it there were so many! I like the idea of what power we have in words! Thanks again.
