this weekend was tops.
this will probably be one of the cheesiest blogs you will ever read but whats life without a bit of cheese?
anyway, these last couple of months have been pretty hard. and i was getting caught up with life and everything was going wrong. i would get hurt from just the tinyest things ever. and i felt like i was just getting messed around unnessecarily.
it was dumb. but dont worry, the story gets better...
up until maybe two years ago i had always had this fear of the sea and like waves and stuff. i never made a big deal about it i just wouldnt go to the beach or anything.
so then i decided that in order to completely conquer my fear i would learn to surf, and ride upon the very thing that i was afraid of.
on saturday i went to taylor's mistake with kryder and c love. kryder's board had a hole in it so we had to share the fush. you may ask why i bothered to share that with you? well, my friend, that was a very key bit of information because it meant that there were times in which i was without a surfboard. and in those times i was thoroughly enjoying seeing how far i could make it out to sea on foot. the waves were legit two metres high, so as you can guess, i was packing myself. when i started out, i was getting thrown about something shocking. the waves were picking me up then dumping me down; i was getting owned. but then i learnt not to let the waves push me about or become a setback in my path but to swim underneath them.
lets just say that nothing beats the feeling of standing there, as a two metre wave rolls towards you and knowing that, with God, you can take it.
in those moments God began to speak to me. he showed me in a practical way that i can stand firm and know that i will be okay. he taught me not to run away from trouble but to dive through in order to make a clean escape with no harm done haha.
now when i am confronted with trials or hardships i know that i can take them on without letting them throw me about or push me backwards.
it was such a great exerience.
and it was ironic that vision sunday was all about waves and surfing. slash it wasnt irony, it was purely jesus.
i am pumped about my future. legit. i had a plan, a great one. but yesterday, my mindsets were challenged. and it was actually in rocket that God showed me some key things that i had left out of my plan. my two biggest passions in life i had actually rendered un-practical and impossible. however, i realised that God uses passion, in fact hes the reason i have. so i went back and re-worked my plan. but it will always remain in pencil because who actually knows where God wants to take me?
chow.
did i really just write chow? wow.
p.s that rhymed.
