Walking on water in the storm

Do you remember the story about Jesus walking on the water out to his friends in the boat, during a storm? I can kind of relate.

Everything in my life is changing - and change is typically described as a stormy time in life. People, whom I haven't seen or spoke to in a while, ask me how things are going, and I tell them what's happening in my life, they're usually quite surprised. My marital status is changing, where I live is changing, my job is changing, and more... it's all happening now.
Yet, I'm not too worried.

Sure, there are times when I get off focus, and begin to feel a bit overwhelmed; but, my main mood is still calm joy. I love my life, which hasn't always been the case. It was only a few years ago when I didn't want to live anymore - but, am I ever glad I stuck around!! And, I believe it has a lot to do with the relationships in my life.
I still, for the most part, feel misunderstood; but, it's something I've gotten used to. The best thing is, I've chosen to let people into my life. I'm no longer living alone. There are a number of people who help live my life with me; and, now there is someone who's going to be there even more than anyone else ever has. There's so much peace and hope knowing that I don't have to have all the answers, all the strength, it all together - I can share the load with my wife, friends and family. Praise God!

Anyone up for a walk on the sea?
