Adjust Your Sails

"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination." Jimmy Dean

 Maybe today, you feel like you are in the midst of rocky waters, maybe even a storm. There are so many things that seem to be coming at you right now that you just can't seem to handle it all. It is easy to feel stuck in this situation you are in. It is easy to feel as though there is no way you could ever get out of it. But, you know what? I have some spectacular news for you, you may not be able to avoid the situation, but you are able to get through it, with the strength of God, and it all has to do with a change that we have to make.
 To illustrate this idea a little bit, I want you to think of a boat. A boat that is way out in the water, when the winds start up. The winds are rocking the boat and creating waves that are making it somewhat hard to see ahead. So what does this boat do? It can't just turn in a certain direction and avoid the storm, and it doesn't just sit there and give up trying to get home. No! The boat changes it's sails. It changes the way it takes on the situation and goes charging ahead.
 Maybe that is what we need to do today. We need to rid ourselves of the mentality that we will never get out of a situation, that we can't overcome this, it's just too big. We need to adjust our sails! Change your attitude into a positive one that says that we will get out of this, we can overcome this with the help of God, for He is always with us, and charge through that storm! With this mentality, you will go right through that storm and come out better than you were, and you will reach your destination.
