It was a great trip up to see my mom and family. And to bring back up family history, a stuffed shoebox-sized treasure trove now all paperclipped and organized.  It was a project that was a joy, I told friends it was like me hiring myself to do that job… and it was a joy job…

So I’m home now and tired – a good tired…

And this noon we spent just a half an hour at the local waterfall, where I could have waded in the water, but just dangled my legs. I really, really wanted to get my bathing suit on and just take a dip.

I think we often I need to not just wade into water, but to go in completely. The people at the diving board were having the best time! Ah, we should jump into FAITH that way and we should never wade in worry, and too many times we go full in freak out mode. We shouldn’t. 

And preparing for one vacation Bible school lesson. I am reminded that Jesus gives us the power to be bold. Bold in faith, bold in trust and bold in not worrying…

Maybe next time, I will bring my bathing suit and go full in the water. And prayers for what I should go in full in faith in life. Let go and let God. Wisdom over worry..

Amen
