Looks quite an ambiguous title right? Not completely actually. In fact we're all living on personal "shaky boats" on the sea of life. The boats are perpetually shaking because life keeps throwing varying troubles its way but here's where Jesus comes in!
He's sitting with us in our vessels and the only way to get to Him is by meditating on His word and sending Him notes always from what we get from it and what we require from Him and are grateful for.
Don't keep Him waiting, help me flood his mailbox with lots of notes!📝
By God's grace❤️🥳

I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied.

Intimate Jesus
Everybody wants to share intimate thoughts with someone and a lot of times it is not so easy to find someone we can truly be intimate with.
