I heard the most hilarious story today. At least it was hilarious to me. One of my friends was telling me about a guy that had a crooked jaw. He got in an accident and his jaw actually got straitened. Now, how many times does that usually happen to people? I have never heard of it until today. I could not help but chuckle at the irony of it and make a few jokes along with it to my mom after church.

But I can tell you that several years ago, I found myself utterly shipwrecked. I found myself having a problem that I had always tried so much not to have.

I found myself shipwrecked. But, strangely, not lost. Strangely this shipwreck caused me to see life clearer than I ever had. It caused me to realize what was really important in my life. It caused me to lose all sense of being scared to do what God had always shown me that I would do. It literally knocked some sense into me.

I finally got on board with what the still small voice was speaking to my life and he reassured me that this shipwreck would not ruin me forever. He just had to allow it to get me on the right track.

Do you feel shipwrecked? What has caused you to get to this place? What do you think will cause you to recover?
