hes just a baby and with us being out on the sea , we decided to clip only one wing
which was a big mistake we made . We keep him in his cage and the onnly time he is allowed out is when the hatch to the bottom of the cabin is shut , so he will not fly off . We set sail for beautiful Blue Pearl Bay to do some snorkling and taking film . The day was perfect warm , sunny and a little windy nothing unusual .
After snorkeling we took a nap the cabin below and left skipper in his cage
i was just waking up when i heard silence and only wings take flight . I ran to the top of the cockpit
and skipper was not in his cage . now mind you we are in 100 ft of sea water no land ,and the only thing was going through my mind was " OH GOD dont let him drown " i was so upset , i looked over the side of the ship and called out for him , fearing a larger bird got him or worse a big fish . " Rob kept trying to tell me to relax he would look for him , i immediately yelled out " Jesus please keep skipper safe till we find him "
i said " i know his only a budgie but please keep him safe LORD " i searched with rob everywhere for him and still no sign . I looked into the blue water fearing the worst and then Rob came from behind me with a fishing net and i thought " great hes drowned i dont wanna see that Dear GOD " and i lifted a soaking wet budgie that was out of breath out of the net and rushed him into my arms with a warm towel to warm him up from the water.
Rob saved skipper ? How? we searched 15 mins for him !
Rob said he found him at the back of the stearn near the exhaust pipe holding on with his feet and flapping to keep afloat in the water .
There are thousands of fish in the sea , sharks as well as sea birds that could have caught skipper
but he was safe , not a scratch was on him .
I held him close on my chest with the towel over him dried him off , and a few hours later
he was back chirping and singing like nothing happened .
I may have seen only a few things close to a miracle in my life
but this was one day i will never forget .
Matthew 7:11
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
Luke 12:7
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.
and then the Holy Spirit reminded me that , even the smallest of things that we think we lost God is there and he knows where we are at every waking minute , every second of every day of our life , and that little birdy was no exception . While things that seem so impossible to man NOTHING is impossible for GOD not even the sea the wind and waves can match his power ! I had just witnessed a small miracle in the middle of the Great Barrier Reef ! Skipper is safe , and we now keep him under lock and key all his doors and areas he found a small opening and escaped :/ so Rob helped me wire up the areas of the doors and the feeding windows to keep him safe . He has earned his Sea legs and is now Sea worthy ;) I must have cried thank you to Rob countless times and above to my JESUS who is above all my Life Saver ! and He saved my little skipper .
Dont ever let anyone tell you GOD dont preform miracles in this day and age
HE still is on the Throne in heaven waiting to bless you and give you your hearts desire !
He knew that i loved my little budgie and he made sure skipper was floating safely till Rob came to rescue him . and you dont t think you are that important to the LORD ???
