Grace in a Haiku I searched for a Haiku about the wake from boats to describe my experience during my self-care getaway this week and reading these words just now is so characteristic of how God shows up in my life. I had a plan and a purpose for this post but God had a different plan. Read this a few times… “Never spend your life waiting for your boat to dock; swim out and meet it.“—The Miracle Man I had high expectations for a specific outcome of my retreat, I came home today empty-handed. God just revealed His purpose to me in that Haiku. I now have to pray for strength and give-in to His plan for this week’s adversity. I thought I let go of the steering wheel, but truthfully; my rebellious nature took it back. I’m blessed to be saved by God’s grace. I am so grateful that His grace is neither earned or merited. “8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”—Ephesians 2:8-10 A wake, of course, is the wave a boat creates underway as it displaces water. Whether you're hanging out on the shore, swimming or paddling, you could be endangered by a boat's wake, and you might even put another boat in peril by your own wake. I forget sometimes that my adventurous nature puts me in harm’s “wake”.
