Engulfed In The Water

TGIF !! That was the first thing that struck my mind as I woke up this morning. The sun was shining into my room, and It seemed like a glamourous day. Then suddenly, a storm was passing over, a storm that was about to destroy.. Dark clouds had overshadowed as I heard my mom saying, "we might have to move out".. NO !! This was terrible. What turned out to be a supurb moment became a dreadful and erroneous flash. I did not want to leave this place. For a second I reckoned that God was the one who blessed us with this house. God was the one who brought us here for a purpose, and nothing whatsoever shall take it away. I prayed, for what seemed to be meticulous, i believed that God would take care of whatever was bound to happen. So I did not worry about it.

Today my swimming teacher was absent. What does that have to do with me and God ? Let me explain. While everyone was In the pool practicing aquatics, and playing water ball, I was alone at the corner of the pool just watching, Laughing and hoping the ball doesn't fly and smack me in the face. For a second, I had a distinct memory. A memory of when I was at church and my pastor was telling us about when her dad went to the beach, he would emerge his head below, and hear nothing but the voice of God. I wanted to try that. I wanted to eliminate all the sounds of the world and hear nothing but the voice of God. So I decided to try. As I plundered, waiting less than 10 seconds underwater, I heard nothing. I kept trying and trying but received cipher. In the last attempt, I recalled a thought. Sharo once preached about being submerged, engulfed, and immersed into the water. The "Living Water" that is. That living water is Jesus Christ. I knew that I had to be drenched by his water, and his water alone. So as I took my last shot in dipping underwater, I got this feeling. A feeling that I should shift. So I swam to the other end of the pool, noticing that the heavy ball had just landed right smack in the spot that I was standing In before . What a shock as I stood there soaked, and In amazement. If i didn't engulf myself underwater, I would've Gotten a bloody nose! Praise Jesus !! Now I know I must be under his living water. I cant imagine the kinds of protection I would get then.
