John 6:19-20

"[The disciples] had rowed three or four miles when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were terrified, but he called..."

"That evening Jesus' disciples went down to the shore to wait for him. But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn't come back, they got into the boat..."

What are you going to hang onto during these storms? If Jesus isn't made the center of our marriages and families, our failure is assured.

Maybe the goal in life is not to arrive at our goals, but to invite Jesus into the journey and let him get us where we need to be.
