Follow Jesus (And I will...)

I remember sitting next to my best friend one evening and saying “ I think I should go kayaking.” And him seizing that opportunity, knowing that moments, where I do outdoorsy things, don’t come often immediately pulled out his phone and rented kayaks. And so that weekend he and I went out to Ceasers Creek and began to kayak and for the first ten minutes, I was fine, until I tipped the kayak over. And then I was fine again until about ten minutes later I topped the kayak again. And while I hated tipping over the kayak I was glad I went. I was pushed out of my comfort zone and forced to deal with something new and because of that, I grew. As we start the new year we are going to be taking a look at the story of Peter when Jesus calls him out of the boat to go and be a fisher of men. Peter could have stayed in his boat, lived his life, and played it safe. But it was when he stepped out of the boat and stepped into what God was calling him to his life began to change. The same is for you and me. When we step out and step into what God is doing and allow him to change our lives he will begin to do things through us and in us that we can’t even imagine.
