Stepping out of the boat

I did something out of the ordinary today and got back home very sated; I went to Windsor with the kids and it was lovely. I didn't feel pressured, harassed or bothered and the weather must have had something to do with it.
During the week I was thinking about abstract nouns and how they can grow: as in confidence, love, joy, peace, kindness and like words.
Well, today's trip has added to my confidence levels and revealed that I can indeed do all things through Christ if I step out of the boat. I have a book by John Ortberg thus titled that I have begun and should finish.
Faith is an abstract noun too but very much one that can keep on growing and growing and growing. Thank You, Father for today.
