Most of the time this is a picture of my mindset. Calm and serene. Gently following life’s path with ease and peace. Confidently taking step after step. I can say, with certainty, that it is the grace of the Lord that I am able to do so.

But today, today I am amongst the rapids. Panic is looming. Tears are on edge. The jagged rocks of overwhelming decisions are jutting up into the current that is time. The same current that is relentlessly and unashamedly dragging me along. I’m gasping for air. Wishing to at least be able to catch my breath, to slow down just the slightest. I know I won’t be able to on my own. I’m begging the Lord to bring me to the surface.
