Just believe ....

The weather has not exactly been favorable the past few days, with the sunshine hiding behind the rainclouds. Still, any opportunity to go outside between showers is something we did, and from walks to bike ride, skateboarding, and the pool, we have managed to get our fair share of fresh air!

Today the kids decided to go in the pool. Now to be honest, it's probably not quite warm enough yet to go in but they don't seem to care and love just being able to cannonball or jump in. Today, though, my little man was more hesitant and was doubting if he wanted to go in. My daughter, who was already in the pool, looked at him and said "don't worry, just believe and then just do it". My son then proceeded to take a deep breath and took off into the cool water below!!

Isn't it amazing how such simple words can have such an impact and are words that we can hold true to our lives too! How often have you hesitated to do something for fear of what was to come? Yet, if we have faith - just believe - and then go for it, amazing things happen! The Big Guy is there for us, friends are there for us, we have to take that deep breath and 'do it'.

So today I DARE you to look for that inner child of yours and invite her to just go for it, after all, she's not afraid of anything! And if you feel that fear, reach out to the Big Guy or a friend and ask them to fill you up with strength as you take a breath and then go for it!!

The reality is that this is easier than it sounds but today I question if it is? Maybe the only thing getting in the way of ourselves is ourselves?!! Something to think about for sure!
