A Leap of Faith

Sometimes it is hard to take the first plunge into the pool on that first somewhat "hot" day of summer but once you dive in it's the most refreshing thing you've felt in months. Ok, I'm lying... I hate the first plunge. We always go to the pool or the creek before it's hot enough outside and the water is freezing cold still and the sun is high in the sky but the cold water takes my breath away and I get out shivering everytime. My life is often times the same way but I often times allow my fears to talk me out of ever diving in,even though once I'm in, the water is fine and I have fun. It's always my fear of what's to come that changes the initial direction in which I felt God leading me to go.
