On sailing in Unknown Waters

with a few friends before leaving Finland

"Yes, it's time to get uncomfortable and charter those unknownwaters! You might not know exactly where you're going, but head out with God anyway. You are going to get there" -Todd Bentley


By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
Hebrews 11:8

Isn't that a great passage! Life's full of unknown waters =) "He didn't know where he was going" How about trust that, eh!! So far what I've seen in life it's definitely so that God takes me one step at a time. I might have a hunch of the whole picture, but I'm sure by the end of the day, ie. at the end of my life, there might be much much so much more there and so many more twists than I ever thought of. And you know how you have that feeling "oh I should really do that thing, take that job, go down that route.." And after doing that you actually realise later on that wow, never thought all that would come to my life and come it did. Sometimes we only have a hunch to go by. But I've noticed as I keep on walking, keep on making choices, more and more details come up on the map. It's something I can trust. I don't have to know it all, or have the whole picture - all I have is the day I live in. One step at a time. And we'll get there.

Yup! One day at a time. My days and my decisions have slowed down as I've gotten older, I suppose. There were so many more decisions to make all at the same time, especially in my early twenties and those university days. The GOLDEN YEARS I call them.

I've been missing your blog (I do't know how that happened)... you're in Scotland?? AWESOME! I wanna come!
