This past Saturday we took the boys to the YMCA for their first swim lesson. As I was in the water with Grady (who I deem my "water baby"), I reflected on how the lesson we had relates to God. I know, you're probably thinking, water + God = what? Grady love, love, LOVES the water. He is the first to tell me that it is time to take a bath, simply so he can play and put his head in the water.
So when we got in the water with the other babies and parents, Grady wasn't shy. He splashed and played. He was the star of the class. The instructor told us that we would do each activity 3 times, however, Grady wanted to to them without stopping. Especially, jumping off the side of the pool. All the while, I was holding him through it all. Holding his hands as he jumped in the pool. Placing him back up on the side and guiding him to know when it was time to jump. Now, if it were left up to him, he would climb and jump in his own time.
It makes me think about how God constantly has a hold on us. He is guiding us through each step and letting us reach our goal in His timing. Grady would look at me like "Okay mom. I'm ready." And I would wait until it was just the right time. God knows what is right for us. He knows when it is the perfect time for us to jump and when it is time to wait. If you are awaiting something to happen or wondering where God is, just know that He has it all planned out and in just the right time. I think to many times we are in such a hurry and in a "want it now" society, that we forget God has a plan for us. So I encourage you to take a minute (or more) and talk to God and ask him to show you His plan in His time.
