On an ocean trip Ellen G White wrote," the waves ran high and we were tossed up and down so very grandly. I was highly elevated in my feelings, but had no words to say to any one. It was grand. The spray dashing over us. The watchful captain giving his orders, the ready hands to obey. The wind was blowing strong, and I never enjoyed anything so much in my life."
Letter 5, 1876, Ellen G White
On another voyage she wrote, that both the wind and "white capped, roaring billows" assaulted the ship. " I remained on deck after nearly all had abandoned it because of sea-sickness. I enjoyed the sight of the billows running mountain high, blue and green, and the dashing spray reflecting all the colors of the rainbow. Signs of the Times, July 18, 1878, Ellen G White
Experiencing the storm led her to think of the "majesty of God and His works....He holds the winds in His hand, He controls the waters. Finite beings, mere specks upon the broad deep waters of the Pacific, were we in the sight of God, yet angels of Heaven were sent from His excellent glory to guard that little sailboat that was careening over the waves. Oh the wonderful works of God! So much above our comprehension! He at one glance beholds the highest heavens and the midst of the sea....".. Letter 5, 1876, Ellen G White
