When I was a kid in school, we had swimming in gym class, occasionally moving to the next level, “beginners, intermediate, advanced, life saving..etc.” With each level, the test was tougher, the treading water longer. I loved to swim, I hated to tread water. I think that it is much harder to try to constantly tread water in a safe place, than to surrender to going deeper, where we have to have faith that God has a plan. How do we grow when we stick to only what we know? Sometimes it scares me to say, “Bring it On”, because only the Lord knows what that means or where that is! But what better way to grow our faith, what better way to force ourselves to keep our eyes on Him. Going deeper? … If that’s where He’s taking me…
Really feel like this has been my theme song lately….
