Learning to swim without any lessons

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4:6-7 (NLT)

I always wanted to learn to swim and I remember looking at everyone enjoying themselves and wishing that I could do the same but sadly I didn’t know how. One day I was at a Lagoon with some friends and as I was watching them, I started talking or more like quarrelling with God, I said “ God, I really want to learn to swim, how comes everyone else can and I can’t? “

A few moments later, I heard a small voice telling me to swim. I could not believe it, and I listened some more and again the voice said “go swim” and I did just that. I dived in and I found myself swimming and I have been swimming since. I am within the (55-60) age group and I swim every morning sometimes doing 36 laps. So I really have to thank God for giving me the skill to swim without ever being taught to do so.
