I instruct water aerobics on Saturday mornings... have for over 15 years now. One question people ask week after week is "How's the water? Is it warm?"... At the gym I have been at for over 8 years now they are very consistant at keeping the water a certain temperature and varies rarely... yet people still ask... "Is the water warm?"... As a Christian when I decided to fully take the plunge and begin my journey as a follower of Christ and give him my life as His to be used totally for His own purpose several years ago... I felt like I do every Saturday morning as I enter the swimming pool... "Is the water warm?"... Yes, it IS warm! Taking the plunge and living for Christ is a huge step of Faith, Hope and Trust... but the water IS warm! And I am thankful to God for that!
I had been a raised in a Christian home, we went to several different type churches growing up... my mother wouldn't like what they would preach on and we'd be off to find a new church. Back then as I child I didn't understand how a minister or pastor could be 'wrong' about the Bible, but I do now... I was saved as a young child and baptised when I was 10 years old. Had to wait because the churches we had gone too didn't do baptism... I always knew who Jesus was and prayed to him every day. Even as a child I had a relationship with my Father God. He had his hand of protection over me and I had no idea just how much... until many years later.
Life has never been easy... living by Trust and Faith that God is who He says He is and learning to listen to Him and rely on Him fully with your life isn't easy some days... but... the water is always warm!
