What am I afraid of?
Failure?
I jumped in, feet first and have realized in one short week that I actually do know how to swim.
Or at least keep from sinking. I can tread water.
Maybe I can do this?
What am I afraid of?
That I can’t?
But here I am, one week later…
and the water’s not bad.
There have been some questions about some details, but all in all,
I realize I am not in the water alone. There have been others to help buoy me.
I have made it through a week and I am learning to
“just keep swimming.”
Am I afraid?
Yes and No.
Am I double-minded?
No.
I am afraid enough to recognize I can’t do this apart from Him.
That I can’t lean hard into my own strength.
That I need to swim toward Him and if I start to sink, will He not walk right over and pull me up?
Oh, sweet Jesus, I am counting on you.
My one and only true Life Preserver.
If I swim, you empower me.
If I sink, you lift me up.
Therefore, I will keep on swimming.
