Several years ago, my mother, sister, and I took a trip to Corpus
Christi, Texas. There they have a seawall that lines the shore of the
Gulf of Mexico, protecting the city from the waves. Along this wall are
gazebos that cantilever over the water. I think my mother could have
stayed there for hours, listen to the sea rush to the shore. It was such
a peaceful place to be.
I have a white noise machine that I turn on at night. One of my favorite settings is Ocean. There is something so comforting about falling asleep to the sounds of waves. It is like I'm transported to another place other than my land-locked state right in the middle of the US. The sound of the sea takes away my cares and helps me doze off.
One of my favorite stories from the Bible is the tale of Jesus and the disciples in the middle of rough seas. I love that Jesus is peacefully sleeping while the disciples are scared to death. When I think about this story, I picture Jesus standing up upon being awakened and saying, "Chill. I've got this."
Oh to be able to sleep through the rough seas. To find comfort in them, as if it was simple as white noise. To be able to recall those words of Jesus and know that I don't have to worry about the waves. No wonder what is disturbing my seas, Jesus has got this.
