When evening came, 

his disciples went down to the sea, 

got into a boat, 

and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already set in, 

but Jesus had not yet come to them. 

A high wind arose, 

and the sea began to churn.

John 6:16-18 CSB

Maybe this is what it was like heading into 2020!

Going about business as usual and we all walked into the storm of 2020.

Storms come in all types.

Health.

Finance.

Relationships.

Decisions we make.

The actions of others.

The economy.

Our boss.

And then there's the storms that we carry with us...our thoughts, memories, beliefs...and those things can churn us up.

And it can feel like we are the only one. 

Alone.

But the disciples were in this together, so if you're in a storm, heading into one or just beetling along like we all were 12 months ago, don't go it alone. 

The storms will come whether we want them or not.

So expect them.

Prepare.

Don't go it alone.

We're in this together.

No matter how dark it gets.

How windy it gets.

How churned up our world gets, you're not alone, we're in this together.
