What Peter Might Have Written...

This was sent to someone on our Adoption Yahoo group who shared it with us:

I read something yesterday to Jody...

What did Peter think when he saw Jesus walking on the water in the midst of the storm and what did the disciples think? They might have written about it the next day (had they written in a journal)...

"There are times in a person's life when, even in the midst of them, you know you'll never be the same. Moments that forever serve as journey posts. This was one. I had never seen Jesus as I saw him then. I had seen him as powerful. I had seen him as wise. I had witnessed his authority and marveled at his abilities. But what I witnessed last night, I know I'll never forget. I saw God. The God who can't sit still when the storm is too strong. The God who lets me get frightened enough to need him and then comes close enough for me to see him. The God who uses my storms as his path to come to me. I saw God. It took a storm for me to see him. But I saw him. And I'll never be the same."

This also reminded me of trials through adoption and life in general. God is there in the storm...He is always there.
