But it's also a life of living by faith in the Son of God. And I like your analogy of holding on to God, as to a strong and steady Anchor. Sometimes the storms do seem a bit long and hard. We have to keep holding on, and realize also that he is holding on to us.Ted M.

I don't know if I sell God short or myself short or this life short, etc. For me it all comes down to motivation and determination. I think I am a pretty good self motivator but I need to reach out to Jesus to help thru the really difficult times. I like thinking of my soul being anchored to God..this has me visualize myself in a terrible storm but hanging on to a strong, unmovable anchor that gives me great comfort as I tell myself "if you hang on it will be ok"Rachel Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422752225793715728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184070.post-84835021568107652202008-02-04T08:04:00.000-05:002008-02-04T08:04:00.000-05:00"sell...short" is meant as a metaphor."sell...short" is meant as a metaphor.Ted M.
