here's a picture of my abigail at camp.
many of our kids had never been swimming before.
14 years old and never been in a pool.
abigail was terrified.
i just knew she would love the water if i could get her in.
i tried to assure her that the life vest would keep her safe (all the kids had to wear them, because not all of them were terrified!), but she didn't really know what a life vest was. i had to explain it. she had to experience it.
life in christ.
it's a big unknown swimming pool to those who have never been swimming.
i am thank filled today for THE life preserver that keeps me afloat in the unknowns.
i am thank filled that i can trust him.
by the end of the week, abigail was LOVING the swimming pool! she enjoyed splashing and playing with her friends.
i'm enjoying splashing in the water, too, so to speak. there is so much freedom to LIVE when we are protected by the life preserver. it may seem like he is confining and restrictive, but i have seen him as the life giver! i can splash and play in the deepest water and know that i am safe with him.
