Waves

Yes!  You are in!  Thank you for sharing when worthy.  We'll see how this one stacks up.  Did you know you are a surfer?  Ok, maybe you've never touched the ocean.  You are absolutely surfing waves called life.  Some waves can be thrills of a lifetime.  Some waves can wreck you, destroy relationships and even you.  Here you go...Thank you Pastor Rick Warren, Daily Hope and Saddleback Church.  I start off almost every day with Daily Hope.  How about you?  Do you start your day with something uplifting and strengthening or the news or Fakebook or Instabrag?When I have my A game.  I start the day in the Word, prayer and iron sharpens iron listens.  Oh, to hear more on that one, please click below...https://www.pastorrick.com/current-teaching/series/a-toolbox-for-life-2025?view=learning-to-be-both-fast-and-slow---part-1So I do call SoCal home.  I do surf.  And that's when the vision came to me.  To catch waves you need intention.  You need to train.  You best take some lessons.  Better yet, you go with a pack so you can keep an eye on each other.  When it comes to Life Planning, that's how GCrossSurf was born.  My wife still thinks we should rebrand and maybe we do.  What was fun to learn that Pastor Rick and team also use waves for teaching.  I love affirmations.  I had no idea.  First time I ever heard him mention waves.  And I pretty much listen to him 5 out of 7 days per week.  Anyway, smarty pants out there will say you can create waves behind a wakesurf boat or wave pool.  Yet that isn't what Pastor Rick was teaching on.  In life, you hop into the ocean called this broken planet.   And you have to ride with what God gifts you and also what this broken planet will serve up.  If we could all just create our own destinies then we would all be Michael Jordans or Lebron James or Taylor Swifts or Lord knows what.  The woman at the well had waves of failed relationships.  Check John 4.  Joseph's brothers threw him into a pit to die.  Genesis 37.  Daniel was enslaved by Babylonia.  Check the book of Daniel.  Moses thought he was leading his people out of slavery in Egypt and ended up enslaving themselves in the desert. Check Exodus.  And we can go on and on.  Some fair, some deserved, some definitely not deserved, all crappy waves that eventually turn into beautiful surf of life...for those that love and seek Him.  Rom 8:28Odds are you are in crappy surf right now.  Maybe you are in the best surf of your life.  Ok, enjoy it while it lasts.  Give God thanks.  Yet for those in crappier surf, learning to be content (not happy) content (big difference) shows your might faith and strength.  Knowing that Rom 8:28 waves are going to pay...someday is mighty Faith.So if so inspired, hit us up at FriDudes.com and we'll give you a free GCrossSurf workbook.  Planning and riding the most important waves of life.  If you are tech savvy, we'll even give you early access to the beta web app.  For it needs some lovin and shapin.  Ending on a prayer note...
