Beginnings

So I finally decided to start a blog. I have no idea if I will be good at this, or even loyal to it, but why not? It's summer time and my girls are growing so fast, pictures can only document so much and let's be honest, I haven't put a picture in an album in YEARS!! I enjoy reading other blogs and I enjoy writing, so put the two together and here we are.

Yesterday was the beginning of swim lessons for my daughters. For years my mother has begged for lessons for them and I was waiting until I felt they were ready. I was worried how someone who explain to Kailey how to do things so that she would understand. Conley was ready at birth to swim.... I have to say I was anxious for all the wrong reasons. The instructor was great and the girls haven't stopped talking about her. She was patient with Kailey and excited at the girls accomplishments through the whole lesson. She rejoiced with them and comforted Kailey in her moment of tears, as she was struggling. I was so relieved and thankful that a stranger could bring this kind of comfort and joy, all in a 30-minute lesson. God was in that pool and HE was in the form of Mrs. Laurann, and it was good. How silly that I thought asking for protection and peace in a swimming lesson wasn't important to the God that created me. HE is everywhere and I feel my faith lessons are in the strangest of forms, but loud and clear. Like Mrs. Laurann @ Mercy, who will never know the calm she brought to this Momma Bear. Or to my precious babies who can't wait until next Tuesday. Beginnings are so unexpected and sometimes scary, but if God is for us, who could ever stop us?
