It’s the early morning of my second swim lesson; and I’m up. Why am I up so early you wonder? Two things: One, I’m reminding myself of last week’s class and how I made it through. And two, today will be my friends first class; she missed last week due to a dental issue. I’m up because I’m preparing to pray to help calm some of the nervous energy I’m feeling. And also because I think this may be a really big deal for my friend and I hope she’s ready.
She’s the same mature age that I am and she doesn’t know how to swim either. I’m praying that she doesn’t talk herself out of learning. Years ago, we both desired something and I went through with it. However, she was able to be talked out of it. And all these years later, I’m wondering if she regrets her decision. I’ve never asked her about it because I know I would have regrets.
Well, let me go ahead and get out of this bed so that I can pray and calm my nerves. As well as lift up my friend in prayer. She was supposed to have called me last night with the questions she had about the class; but she never did. Either way, I’m going to class because I’m so excited to be able to open up other opportunities for me once I’m comfortable being in the water. Things like parasailing, jet skiing, rowing and fishing, just to name a few.
