ericaeverett - Why the Sailboat T-shirt?

Less than 2 months until I launch in October for the World Race again, but this time as a leader!

As a part of my fundraising I am selling these amazing comfort color shirts!

Short Sleeve: $21

Long Sleeve: $29

Psalm 107:23-24 says

²³Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters,
²⁴See the deeds of the Lord,
And His wonders works in the deep.

Isn't that so cool?! "Those" who go out "at sea" to do God's "business" all around the world ("great waters") see the works and wonders of the Lord. Even in the deepest darkness of this world, God's work will be done.

I am the ship, His vessel.

The world is the great waters.

The wind is the Holy Spirit that guides me.

Jesus is my captain.

This verse really struck a chord with me. One, because God already gives me so many confirmations and signs through ships. Two, because it explains so simply what it means to go out and live the Great Commission.

I cling to the song "Captain" by Hillsong United as I sojourn from country to country to spread His good news.

It goes

"Through waters uncharted my soul will embark
I’ll follow Your voice straight into the dark
And if from the course You intend I depart
Speak to the sails of my wandering heart

Like the wind You’ll guide
Clear the skies before me
And I’ll glide this open sea
Like the stars Your Word
Will align my voyage
And remind me where I’ve been
And where I am going

Lost in the shallows amidst fear and fog
Your truth is the compass that points me back north
Jesus, my Captain, my soul’s trusted Lord
All my allegiance is rightfully Yours"

God continues to speak to me in this theme of ships so I wanted to share it with you and ask for support on this faith journey through these shirts.

My goal is to pull as many lost, hurt and brokenhearted souls on board with me before I reach my end destination of full communion with God in heaven.

I am currently at $1,100 of the $6,500 needed to lead a squad for five months to five countries as well as return to the field twice for squad debriefings.

Thank you for your support and prayers. I can't wait to see how good you look in the shirt!

God Bless!
