Current mood: loved


I feel like I have been writing a lot of blogs latley. Oh no, I'm turning into Jim. JK I don't have that many important things to write about, I'm not that smart yet. I just wanted to share with you an analogy I got today.

I took the kids swimming at the B-town pool today. It was the first time Paul got to swim in a kiddie pool. He just loves the water and I knew he was really going to have a great time, and I was right. He was splashing all aroung having the best time. He could stand up in this pool and could walk a little. He could even sit down and his head would still be above the water. But the more comfortable he got the more he wanted to test out what he could do. I was holding on to him because every time I would let go he would fall over into the water head and all. He did not want me hanging on to him, he wanted to be a big boy and do it on his own. As soon as he would wiggle away from me he would no doubt fall under the water and I would scoop him back up. He would catch his breath and then do it all over again. I kept thinking to myself why does he keep doing this. Why is he not scared of drowning. How many times is he going to do this before he realizes that if he gets away from me he is going to go under the water. Then I thought man, we as christians are a lot like Paul is here. God has given us some bounderies to live by but we always want to see how far we can go. We know that if we step out of his will then there will be consequences. If Paul were to stay away from me he would no doubt drown, and just the same if we stay away from God we will drown. Paul kept getting away from me because he knew that I would save him from drowning, he knew that mommy was close by to scoop him up every time he went under. I know in my life I let a few things slip or wonder a little away from God and he is always there to pick me back up. It feels great to know that my God is always close by watching over me.
