I had to come back. I had to give a shout out to my girl Danica! She's my Rehabilitation counselor who comes out to see me like once a year. Girl I pray you will be encouraged by the writings and thank you for accepting my card! Have a wonderful day! See you next year! If not sooner oh, you can come back and we can chill! :-)
It is to my understanding that some of you readers of mine personally know me. Then we have people from Yemen or Zimbabwe who have no idea who I am. The only thing they get is my beautiful voice and personality and my very tripped out words and way of thinking sometimes. I'm only kidding about the most beautiful voice. Shoot my voice kind of sounds like it's not so beautiful at times. I get it I'm at the point of not even having a voice at time
Anyway, you people who do personally know me know this about me. I cannot swim. I remember my dad tried to teach me how to swim when I was like three cuz he's an excellent. I am frequently reminded by my dad that when he was trying to teach me how to swim I would have let him bit I think I remember that. Kicking, screaming, all that good stuff bad well you know what I mean. I was 3 years old and I was scared of water. I think that instance totally followed me throughout life. Because, I could care less about learning how to swim. I am scared of water.
Joe said that once I was in my cousin's pool and
I said I started to drown because my imbalance wasn't at holding my body up and my weakness and breathing wasn't letting me breathe right. So, though it was only three feet of water Joe had to jump in the pool to help me cuz....
Joe likes to remind me of that a lot especially when we are around pools. He cracks up!
I kind of feel bad becaus I have bad memories of water things. I
cannot breathe right or hold my balanced when in the water.I feel like I'm depriving Joe of being in pools. He is an awesome swimmer. However he tells me he doesn't care that he doesn't go in pools much, or have tropical vacations jumping in the lake by the beach. Who knows maybe that will change one day and I'll be miraculously healed and may love to take some swimming lessons.
I do remember some years ago my friend who used to live in the condo, Therese.
Therese was awesome! She actually has Ms like me. She swam like everyday! She is so strong! And, she was in her 60s! She began taking me with her to this indoor park with a swimming pool just so I can get a little exercise in the water. She knew I couldn't swim, and she would always tell me not to be afraid of the water. She would always tell me not to worry she will never let me go or let anything bad happen to me. I remember going all the way to 9 feet of water one time. And, apparently, Therese kept her word because I'm still here talking to you guys!Oh, I just thought of something. Maybe I should go back to the park with my caregiver Glady! She is an awesome swimmer too!
What this reminds me of is our Lord always reminding us that he will never let us go!
It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed
Hebrews 13:5
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Isaiah 41:10-13
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall
1 Peter 5:7.
Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
You
Never Let Go: Matt Redman
