Like a ship, we must learn how to navigate and chart our course by developing and committing to showing up for ourselves. Even during the flat or low season. Starting now, we as human beings must keep faith within our hearts. Even if the ships of old did not reach their destination. Yet still, God's creation has to develop knowledge and commit to their purpose. Just like a ship that moves into the water during the flat season, remember Jehovah God Almighty is within us; and He is the Captain of the old Zion Ship. The scripture says, 'no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him. Let us build a bridge over the waters because the Kingdom of God and the return of the Lord Jesus Christ are at hand. By Ms. Gretchen Gianna Mickler
