Hi Advent Kids,
How has your week gone? Are you getting to do some special summer activities? Are you facing any challenges on your desert island this week? I am! This past week I jumped to obey God in a few things I knew He wanted me to do. But after just a little bit, I got overwhelmed and started to sink! That was when I discovered something really COOL! When I call out to God to help me, he DOES!
Peter goes through this exact same experience in our story today from Matthew 14. He hops out of the boat - in a STORM, despite huge WAVES - because Jesus calls him. But then, he stops looking at Jesus, looking down at the waves instead and . . . he starts to sink. Listen to the video to see what happens.
This week I am praying for each of you to call out to God when you feel like you may be sinking! Let him reach his hand out and gather you close to himself!
I miss you guys!
Love,
Wendy
