pa·cif·i·cal·ly
[puh-sif-ik-lee]
adverb
peaceably, mildly, calmly, or quietly.
I get a certain peace from looking out at the water.
Knowing that in its power there is the ability to connect people, yet destroy them at the same time. To me there is something so calming about that.On the other side it is a place that scares me beyond belief.
In its vast size there are no people, a lack of connection and you are removed from all fellowship. It's an easy place to miss God. That's what I'm most afraid of. Looking into the wilderness and dreaming of what is on the other side doesn't phase me much. Looking from shore I don't see anything that I can't tackle on my own. I know that's completely false though. I know that as I venture into the wilderness I will be alone. Yes I will be surrounded by 300 people on my ship. Yes I will be in contact with people from home through email. But I won't really, truly have anyone standing by my side cheering me on and keeping me on the right path.That is except for one man. He's always been standing there.
This will be an opportunity for me to grow spiritually. An opportunity for me to rely on God more, an opportunity for my declare my complete dependance on Him. I will need to if I am to make it out alive.
