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!
Well welcome to the big, wide world of blogging.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a great way to journal your thoughts and bits and pieces of your daily life. It's there for your kids to see another side of their mom, as well. It's funny, someone in church recently testified that while they live a Christian life and go to church, they seldom just sat down and shared testimonies with their children. We sort of expect them to soak up our 'run-ins' with God by osmosis, I guess.
I found you by looking at your sidebar on FB.
I look forward to wandering around a bit and looking over your most recent posts. Consider me a 'follower'.
BTW, I'm under comments as CeeCee. My real name and family's name are false on my blog.
