This morning I woke up at 6:30 and the first thing I thought of was: I get to go swimming today. I was at the gym by 7:30 am and in the pool by 7:45, getting in was amazing. I haven't swam since LAST January and I was soo happy swimming my first 150 yards. Then it hit me. I haven't swam since January.
I struggled around for maybe another 500 yards not being consistent in my stroke, and taking breaks every so often. I considered giving up and just going home. But then I thought I will feel like this a lot and I will not dare give up now. So I told my self to swim just 10 laps. It would be cake I just had to push through.
So I started swimming. Then I started praying. My prayers got me through 26 laps. I just kept praying, those prayers kept me focused and I truly believe God helped me swim those laps.
I plan on going back tomorrow morning to swim and I will enjoy it. I think the time I spend in water is the time I will spend with God. I guess if you look at it from a symbolic perspective I am being reborn. Therefore everyday I come out of the water I will be a new woman. A woman dedicated to a new lifestyle and a woman dedicated to straightening her relationship with God.
