I expected to be writing you this week about our family's amazing time cruising the Holy Lands but two days before we were to embark on our adventure we received news that our cruise had been canceled due to a fire aboard the ship. Our cruising plans were abruptly changed and we were abruptly disappointed and I could not bring myself to put my hands on the keyboard. It was grace alone that I remembered that what I could do with my hands and heart was to lift them to the Lord in prayer and by grace God reminded me that "His ways are not my ways" (Isaiah 55:8) and that He is "close to the brokenhearted" (Psalm 34:18) and that when it comes to "cruising" the best place to be is "Cruising as close to Him as possible."
Is your heart broken this summer? Have plans in your life changed abruptly? Can I encourage you to pour out your heart to the One who loves you most? Let him comfort you and guide you as you "cruise" through this life.
Here is a photo of a different kind of cruising we did as a family that definitely would not have happened had we been on a ship in the Mediterranean.
Blessings and "Ahoy Matey"!
