I have been thinking about what my future is going to look like. I had somewhat thought about what I may want to do after my parents died, and where I might want to be. But now it’s here and it is a big unknown. I listened to the Gospel reading and reflection for Mass this morning before getting out of bed. It was again the story of the Apostles in the boat in a storm and Jesus sleeping. I can just imagine their mindset. How can you be sleeping? Don’t you even care that we’re about to go under? Jesus’ answer is to ask them why they are so afraid. He, of course, calms the storm. The reflection was on being courageous in all circumstances. And the reflection in Jesus Calling was the same. I was grateful for the message and reminder that God has everything in control, even when I feel out of control.

I Found God today in His reminder not to be afraid.
