The Boat

So you are probably wondering what the out of the boat is all about. A couple years ago when I was going through several months of intense conversations with God the phrase, "get out of the boat" kept going through my mind. Basically to me it meant give all of myself to Him even if it doesn't make any sense. That is what I have tried to do. I've tried to go where God leads me even when I want to ask "are you nuts". It has lead me from the craziness of starting a bookstore in a horrible economy (haven't figured out what the point of that was yet) to a tiny rental in Kansas. As far as the store goes the only thing I have figured out so far is that I was being taught to obey even when it seemed crazy. Sometimes when I start the whole questioning phase again I start asking why I couldn't stay at home and continue to build my store. Then I'm reminded that it wasn't mine. I had told Him it was his from the beginning (after all it was his crazy idea) so it was his to take away too. So here I am out of the boat, trying to keep my eyes on Him.
