Sink or Swim

I was talking to a friend today about living out my faith and just kind of working through that right now and he said something really meaningful to me.

He said that when it comes to swimming, you can read about how to do it all your life. When it comes time to swim however, that's a different story. You'll sink as fast as anyone else if you haven't done it before.

I feel like up until now, when it comes to my faith, I have been reading and reading and reading. I've never actually lived it out. Yeah I mean I've lived life and gone to church and done the Christian thing. But I haven't actually started swimming.

I think I'm in the process of learning to swim now. Maybe I was treading water all along but I just had some water wings on or something. Those things always gave me a rash.

Anyway, It's time to swim.

I hope I don't sink.
