Day 9: What's your wake?


The boat comes by

bringing with it its aftermath.

Its WAKE~

its trigger.

its backwash

its turbulence.

You come by

bringing with you your aftermath.

Your WAKE.

Do you trigger a turbulent backwash of anxiety

or a trigger of PEACE?

What is your backwash?

Think about it.

If you were to walk in a room

would people be so overwhelmed by you or overwhelmed by you.

As I am not quiet. As when I enter a room I can just picture those who are the quiet silent type

feeling my trigger of energy and wanting to run the other way.

Oh I even overwhelm myself.

Now when my hubby enters a room I know that many who are

the quiet silent type or the energy bunny type

can feel his quiet trigger of PEACEFULNESS.

So do I become the quiet silent type?

Now we know GOD performs miracles, but I don't even think HE can make me quiet.

But then again HE does.

This passion inside of me is always brewing,

and that can be a good thing,

but a not so good thing

unless GOD gets a hold of me

and when I get a hold of HIM.

I even surprise myself how quiet & silent I can be

and may even leave a WAKE of PEACEFULNESS,

because whenever I leave a

WAKE of

LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS,

GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, & SELF-CONTROL (Galatians 5:22-23)

you know that

IT'S NOT ABOUT ME,

because no matter how hard I try to leave

an unturbulent trigger of the backwash of quiet silence

you know I have to remove myself, my whole self from the picture.

For that is when you SEE JESUS

because only JESUS can leave behind a wake of PEACE

that evens overwhelms me so much

that I want to remain quiet & silent

so that HE can do what HE does best

and be HIM through me.

Oh what is your WAKE?
