"Some of you set sail in big ships;
you put to sea to do business in faraway ports.
Out at sea you saw God in action,
saw His breathtaking ways with the ocean;
With a word He called up the wind-
an ocean storm, towering waves!
You shot high in the sky, then the bottom dropped out;
your hearts were stuck in your throats.
You were spun like a top, you reeled like a drunk,
you didn't know which end was up."
Psalm 107:23-27 MSG

"Although I had never been in such rough water physically, I have been there emotionally. Many of you have too. The bottom drops out, your heart is stuck in your throat, and you are spinning and reeling. Someone said something that cut you to the very heart. You found out some information that knocked you onto the floor...The list of how it happens is long because our circumstances are so varied, but rough water is terrifying regardless of how we got there. Everything is upside down and you really don't know which end is up. Nothing is where it's supposed to be; nothing is where it was five minutes before."
--Irrepressible Hope, Women of Faith

How do you know when to quit fighting in such a situation for the one thing that you felt certain God called you to? Nothing is how it used to be, will it ever be again?
