It’s Friday and time for another link up with The Gypsy Mama! Five Minute Friday is “a time when we just write for 5 minutes on a specific topic not worrying whether everything is just right.” If you would like to join in CLICK HERE.
He takes us places far beyond our dreams.
As I think about this journey
tears fill my eyes and my lip quivers.
I can remember a time in my life when I sat shivering in my boat
My boat, rocking back and forth upon the waves of bad decisions.
Was this all I could hope for? Was this how life was going to be for me? Stuck at sea. Not really living, but simply holding on.
I don’t want this, Lord. I want more. I want You.
I took a chance. I stepped out of my boat of fear and stepped into the sea of trust. I let go.
God takes us places we never thought were possible.
He takes us places far beyond our dreams.
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom
and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
~Romans 11:33
This is a giant leap of faith
Trusting and trying to embrace
The fear of the unknown
Beyond my comfort zone
Hi Eileen, I love that, the sea of trust. Such an awesome visual of trust. Great 5 minute friday
God bless, have an awesome weekend

Eileen,
Awesome post, that first step out of the boat and into the crashing waves can be a tough one, but that is where we find those things we never thought possible, beyond our wildest imagination.
Blessings Eileen.
Your words paint such a beautiful picture of trust. I love reading your Five Minute Friday posts, Eileen. You courageously bare your soul and put into words what many of us feel. Thanks!
Have a blessed weekend!

What is amazing is that he is actually in the boat with us!! Beyond our loss, emptiness and frailty he is always there. Love how you described stepping out into a sea of trust 🙂
Great words today Eileen…
and maybe to be alittle childish…which is ok if faith based…lol…
He truely will take me…To Infinity and Beyond!
BTW…love the pic!
Great visuals in words and photo . . rocking in decisions and stepping out in faith. Being pushed beyond the comfort zone . . we all know this well.
Amen! I'm so glad God takes us beyond! Many blessings, Eileen. 🙂
Eileen, this is so beautiful!
Stepping out of the boat isn't easy but worth the risk!
Amen! The 1st two lines are so powerful 🙂 Lovely.
Beautiful post, Eileen. Powerful image of sitting in that lonely boat. But God is here! And FANTASTIC verse to go along with this post. So apt. Thank you, Eileen, as always, for your thoughts.
Love it Eileen! We've all sat rocking in our boat until he came and took us beyond all we've ever known!
This is BEAUTIFUL! I so can relate to being in that empty boat, alone.
Thank you for sharing!
