Overcoming Fears

THEN:
When I was younger, I remember going to a party at a lake. Everyone was having a good time swimming and eating hot dogs. I did not know how to swim at the time, so I stayed close to the waters edge, but still I had fun. A girl there that I knew started screaming trying to get out of the water, it turned out she had a couple of leeches on her. Of course everything turned out fine, but it freaked me out enough, that I never liked to go in lakes again. Between the leeches and slimy stuff, I just could not do it.
NOW:
I am proud to say I think I overcame that fear this weekend, at least for the most part. We went swimming at lake Texoma. It took me about 10 minutes to realize that 1. there were no slimy stuff under my feet and 2. that no big bad leech was heading to get me. I know it sounds very silly, but to me it was not I assure you. I simply trusted God to be by my side and help me along the way. YEAH, I did it!

I will try to post about the rest of the weekend in the next couple of days (it was a good weekend)!
