normally i am hard on our local christian radio station...sometimes the cheese factor is just too much for me, to the point that i get agitated and angry...i know i have issues...and yet, if i'm listening to the radio it's usually on that station. however, this morning they were talking with one of the writers of the movie fireproof (or the book that goes with it or something) and people were calling in to comment or ask questions.
one woman said that the lord gave her a vivid picture years ago that has helped her tremendously - she is the passenger in the boat, her husband the captain...but the lord reminded her that he has the river. i have heard countless different ways to illustrate this same point...but for some reason this morning there was a little click in my mind.
i often ask justin (without actually asking out loud) to be the controller and fixer of all things in our lives. frustration comes when he can't...i mean, he's the leader, right? however, rather than reminding me of my role this morning, the visual picture of the river being the lord's gently convicted me that justin is not in control of where our life together rolls...he is simply responsible for following the flow of the river and trusting the one to whom we're both submitted. i pray that i will be more supporting and encouraging to him in the process.
