The boys quickly got in their spots. Banner started asking me if she could ride around on the Ranger and practice for when she gets her license in a few years. Blaise found her pole and joined in with the boys. She tried a few casts, but was not able to make her line move a bit. Bosque offered to help her and she looked at him like he was crazy. She said, "Y'all, I KNOW how to fish, I just can't cast."
We all looked at each other and laughed as usual because Blaise has a way with words. She also has a way with her thinking because how can you fish if you can't cast?
I kept to myself on the safe end if the pier and realized that I had been like Blaise in her confused state too many times too. I have been secure and sure of myself in some areas and at the same time very vulnerable and unstable in other areas. I have often lacked confidence in my ability to maneuver through life and I guess if we are honest, we all have. I read a verse today that reminded me of HOW and WHY I know I can make it in life and not just make it, but love a life worthy of my calling and of my heritage from Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 and 24 is amazing! It says "The one who calls you is faithful and He will do it." That reminds me that I am never alone and that I am a complete, whole person, and able to do life well. We will never be perfect, but life does not have to be full of insecurities and doubts. This verse is worth a reread!
