Raising The Sail: Living in Faith over Fear

by Nicole Johnson

Just as sailboats are made for the wind, women are made for relationships-and with both it takes faith to overcome the fear to let go and trust God's direction. In this final book in the Faith, Hope and Love Trilogy, dramatist Nicole Johnson creates a visual reminder that God is in control. Instead of frantically paddling or "motoring" our way through the seas of our emotional connections with each other, she challenges us to freely let go and trust the "Windmaker," God Himself, to help us find our way.
Nicole Johnson is no stranger to the anxiety, worry and fear that life often brings. But like a loving parent, God does not leave His children to face the closet of our fears alone. He walks beside us as our strength and guide, uncovering our fears and laying them all to rest.
Raising the Sail , a 2002 Women of Faith drama sketch, illustrates the power and promise of God and fully reveals that faith in God can bring us through the darkness into a new day.
A powerful antidote in a world that depletes women of the God given-confidence and assuredness to release their fears, Raising the Sail offers the stirring reminder that all things work for the good of those that love the Lord.

I have enjoyed sailing - as long as it was in small, secure bay. The analogy Johnson used regarding sailing hit home to me because of that. I think all of us at some point want to stay in control, but we have to learn that we are not always in control, and that may be the best thing for us.

This book is eye opening and i know i struggle with these things now and will probably be reading this book again in the future as my son gets older to remind me to let go and let God take the reins.

Before bed I read this quick story about what it means to trust God. It was nice and I liked it but it was not life changing, just nice and inspiring.

Short, easy to read, but challenging to consider how my coping mechanisms are based in fear instead of in faith.
