Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming...

"Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming."A friend just told me that sentence recently. If you are a parent of a child under the age of 10 years old whether physical or at heart you remember Dory from the movie Nemo.  But there are times when you can't. There are times in a person's life, when it's hard to do that.  When you are drowning and there's nothing you can do to fix it?

Picture a woman that's in the water, her life raft as tipped over.  In the distance she see's her refuge, but no matter how hard she swims the waves keep taking her further and further away from that refuge. Then when you add her "weights", her grown-up responsibilities(taking care of a house, family, job, or etc.) it becomes harder to keep swimming.  Then if one of "weights" has an extra challenge because of their special needs it becomes even harder to swim and to not just let the waves carry her away.

There are times where she just sits and tread water because she's not sure of which direction to go (Does she continue to fight against the waves to get to her refuge? OR Does she just give up and )But the longer she treads water the harder these directions are to figure out.  AND then right now with the season of life that she's going thru the waves are getting BIGGER and BIGGER to try to swim against.  Right now she's been hit by some big ones, and she can't seem to find where the surface of the water is.  It's getting harder and harder to try.  She doesn't want to just give up and let her "air" disappear because by giving up she'd totally fail her children  and her husband...but then again she's so tired of trying to reach the surface, that she just wants to stop...for awhile...what's the answer?

Just wish GOD would answer her prayers sometimes.

God Bless
