Lately I’ve been reading If You Want to Walk On Water, You’ve Got to GEt out of the Boat.  In fact, I just finished it yesterday! VERY GOOD book! I highly recommend it to anyone.  Funny thing about me is I don’t just read a book, I study a book. So, I took lots of notes from this one!  ANd highlighted or underlined in my personal copy of it.  No one would want to purchase a book from me on Ebay :).    Anyway, this book has given me some hope I don’t seem to have had lately.  Yesterady, as I finished reading this book, the only note I wrote down from it was this, “Every time someone gets out of the boat, their God gets a little bigger.”  That’s an awesome statement to me.  GOD is an AWESOME GOD and we must remember just how BIG He is.  Here are a couple of statements from this book on hope.  “When I hope, I believe that GOd is at work to redeem all things regardless of how things happen to be turning out for me today.” 

“Our ability to live in hope is to remain focused on Christ during the storm.”

“Whenever Jesus calls someone to get out of the boat, he gives them the power to walk on water.”

I know that this power and hope that comes only from HIM is what is carrying me through the last few weeks and will carry me through the next few weeks. I just keep hoping that he’ll renew me and give me a better situation.
