Peter was the only one to get out of the boat.
Everyone always criticizes Peter for losing faith and sinking. How many of us have walked on water? Even for a second? None of us? Exactly.
Peter looked down and was afraid. But at least he wasn’t still in the boat.
We all say we want to walk where Jesus leads, and we mock those who fail. But how many of us have actually tried to follow Him? If you are trying to follow Him, you will fail almost every day. Its the ones who don’t try who look they are always succeeding. It’s a scam. No effort means no failure and gives a false illusion of success. But only those who try fail. Only those who fail come back and try again after learning from their mistakes.
Are you still in the boat?

I am a young woman who grew up in British Columbia. In BC was all I ever wanted; I had my poodle (Max) and all my friends, Saturdays at the Vancouver Aquarium and Sunday afternoons at one of my favorite beaches it was paradise. But God had a different plan for my life and my dad's job landed us in Alberta and now where I remain, in small town Souris Manitoba. The transitions from paradise to prairie were difficult and I will admit that now 10 years later I still refer to home as Abbotsford BC. Through this crazy pathway trek across Canada I have had one true constant, God; and though none of it was easy, everything that has happened in my life has formed in me a true lasting friendship with the one I call Immanuel. Because no matter how far from home we are God is with us, and thanks to God I have found an almost completely over looked beauty in Manitoba. If you open your eyes you will see that God has planted wondrous things everywhere you go.
