tiny in comparason to the sea

Me and Rob are still in Yeppoon , the welcome change from the intense winds and swells we have sailed through . Its so strange when you have time on your hands , nothing to do but fish , take naps and eat , but it has really taught me also a lesson in life . That i have no more excuses to take time out for the Lord . To be able to sit in the pure silence of the morning as the sun comes up , with tea in hand and a clear mind . I have become more in tune to the world around me. The beauty that we are surrounded by . Even if those who are not able to sail or see the Great Barrier Reef , you can sit outside and just look at what GOD has created . From the painted skies , to the falling rain , to the tiny song birds , HE has created them for you and I. HE is calling out to say "I love you child " and even when i am holding onto the ships wheel , and the winds are heeling me over as the swells of the ocean and the storms seems to laugh at me  and i feel so tiny compared to that huge vast ocean.
To look out over the Sea and your the only sail boat on the waves for miles away . The Boat seems no longer 38 foot long but just a speck in the ocean ! Sometimes We can feel this way around GOD , HE seems so huge compared to us "tiny ants " scurrying around on the earth . But he knows EVERYTHING about each and everyone one of us , HE is in control of the wind the waves after all HE created them ;)

So the next time you feel alone , remember who created that HUGE ocean and GOD is always in control
and loves you even when you feel like a speck in the ocean ;)
