“I really was wanting to be dead and was serious about killing myself. Surfing rejuvenated me and gave me new life. It gave me something to hope for, and then when it started having serious [positive] effects on my health, it started feeling spiritual to me”
This man was very troubled and lost, and like he said, he wanted to end his life. But what was really cool for Steven was that he learned how to surf, and that same day, was met with the spirit. The ocean became Steven’s sacred place and spoke to him in an amazing way. Like he said, it gave him hope for like and reasoning for living. The power of that place influenced him like no other person or place ever has or could. Later in this article, it talked about how Steven met the Lord in the water that day, and was able to make a relationship with his God. How crazy is that power, that someone so lost and ready to give up, could be met where he was (in the middle of the ocean) and have his life completely turned around.
