Sailor's Journal

It would be fantastic if life's experience was only marked by smooth sailing and ease. Yet, that is not always the case. Jesus expressed, 'Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows' (John 16:33 NLT). Nonetheless, sudden storms can catch you off guard.In the middle of one's journey, an unforeseen torrent assails where calm had been. Anxiety rises. The best efforts seem fruitless to diminish the impact of the storm. The strain of trying to navigate the tempestuous waters and howling winds is overwhelming. Questions flash in the midst of the tumult along with feelings of doubt, inability, and the why of the situation. Follow author Mike Warren as he unpacks a stormy season in his own life and his reflections on the journey. May this sailor's journal bring insight and encouragement when the waves rise and winds howl in your own experience.
