Sunday's Reflection

Sunday was not a sunny day here in Tampa. It rained again pretty much all day! My daughter was really upset yesterday because it was raining and she wanted to go swimming. She's been taking swimming lessons since the day after Memorial Day and when she first started out she hated it.

In fact, on her first day of swimming lessons, between screaming and crying she said, "this is the worst day ever!" We laugh about it now but she was really terrified about putting her face under water. It has been a long journey but she's now really comfortable in the water and she's made so much progress. She's now a bit obsessed with swimming and wants to practice as much as possible. So, on Saturday she wasn't happy because her dad had promised to take her swimming but couldn't because of the rain. We even heard her praying and begging God to stop the rain (oh, the faith of little children; you gotta love it!).

We were not able to go swimming Saturday so we went yesterday after church. We were lucky enough to get a break from the rain after church. We went swimming at a pool by Greg's work. We were able to stay there for over an hour without any rain. So my daughter got alot of practice and she did awesome! I'm truly proud of her and all the progress she's made. The whole time she was smiling and saying, "this is the best day ever!" Funny, huh?

Later that night, she prayed and thank God for stopping the rain just for her so that she could swim. I told her that God smiled on her and she said that it's because God loves her. I love to listen to her talk about God. She's so in love with Jesus and God. It's exhilarating to watch her and hear her pray. My prayer is that she will always have this love for Jesus and have a passion to do His will.
