Surfing the Waves

So non of you come to me for relationship advice. I have a failed marriage and 2 failed meaningful  relationships in my CV. Thing is about about a relationships is we can get it so wrong. I’ve just come out of a short relationship that actually meant the world to me. Fact was this Girl was funny, attractive had an amazing passionate faith and loved her church and church family even though in some ways she found it hard to go each week.

Fact is this relationship started at 100mph and I guess when one person tried to slow down the other would not put on the breaks at the same time. We could say we let each other push things aside rather that fit into the slots that where there. And inn the end I maybe was the one that had to take my foot of the gas. I hope in time we may re unite and it be all good if not better. 

It was like a whirlwind crashing through a town smashing every thing in its path. Or a surfer, on the Crest of a wave in control of left and right but not backwards or forwards. 

A good friend asked me about how I keep my passion and my faith so positive. Because his has all but gone. 

Like that surfer. Riding the wave toward the shore, that’s just it, the surfer can only head to the shore as he twists and turns and pulls tricks before the wave crashes and the surfers stranded and fighting to stay away from the rock and fighting to get to safe water where he waits for the next wave hopefully with his surf board still attached to his wrist by rope. 

I remember when I first found my new faith in God. It was like I was unstoppable. I was loving learning new things and reading the bible like a kid with the new Harry Potter novel. Soon that that high could come to an end and I’ll be fighting to get to safety and looking and waiting for that new wave.

So how do we keep those highs going while waiting for a wave? Well I find peace in blogging. It helps me to focus on those down times like now. But also like the surfer has his surf board to keep him afloat while waiting, we have The Bible. We also gave many other things like Dailey reading guides, on line reading, apps  and maybe just chill and listen to worship music or watch a christian movie. The bible may well be just a book to some, but is a book of truth, a book of evidence and a book that will make waves in your life. Also praying helps, hey who better to talk to than God! All these things can help keep us motivated and throws fuel on the fire
