Still Waves

Welcome to Still Waves~

I took the name from Psalm 107:29
He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.

Being from San Diego, I have an affinity for the beach. I love the feel of warm sand between my toes, the sun on my face, the smell of the ocean breeze, and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore. But many times, I've felt tossed around by this tempest called Life and have come to realize that only Jesus can calm the storms and still the waves.

While I'm not sure if this blog will turn out to be random thoughts, "a day-in-the-life", or perhaps a place for others to find encouragement, I do hope it will be a place of "Still Waves" for those who stop by for a visit.


Sometimes He Calms the Storm
All who sail the sea of faith

Find out before too long
How quickly blue skies can grow dark
And gentle winds grow strong
Suddenly fear is like white water
Pounding on the soul
Still we sail on knowing
That our Lord is in control

Sometimes He calms the storm
With a whispered peace be still
He can settle any sea
But it doesn't mean He will
Sometimes He holds us close
And lets the wind and waves go wild
Sometimes He calms the storm
And other times He calms His child

He has a reason for each trial
That we pass through in life
And though we're shaken
We cannot be pulled apart from Christ
No matter how the driving rain beats down
On those who hold to faith
A heart of trust will always
Be a quiet peaceful place
