I just watched the movie of "Soul Surfer" (the one about Bethany Hamilton) and I love it even more than the last time I saw it!
It is so up-lifting and just an encouraging pick-me-up kind of movie!
I remember when that happened (I remember hearing about it when I was younger) and that was actually when I started getting more and more afraid of sharks! (I still have to cover my eyes at that part in the movie where she is having the nightmare about the shark!)
But even after watching the movie and hearing her story, I still don't know how she can do it. After all that. I mean, I've never even seen a real live shark much less gotten attacked by one and I'm terrified of them! But I guess that's how you get to trust. Fear leads to trust and faith. (You can possibly expect a poem on that soon!;)
I remember when I was swimming at Marine Park with my friend, Betty, and we went farther out and were laughing and having a good time and letting the waves crash over us when suddenly we realized "Oh man. There are sharks in the ocean.....(and this is our biggest fear)..... uh-oh. There are drop-offs in the ocean."
After we shared that lovely thought, we both found ourselves swimming as fast as we could toward shore. Our minds thinking up the most terrifying scenarios.
But afterwards, I remember thinking "You know what? Fears are unique in a way that Satin uses them against us, when in reality, they push us closer to God and force us (or remind us) to trust in him and have faith in him. So it's not really working on Satin's part. Not at all.
Why does it always seem like God is winning him over every time...Praise the Lord.
The Lord is good... all the time.
