I recently wrote about experiencing a feeling of my head being held under water during a baptism. Inside that moment my feet were attached to the center point of walk and don't walk. What is the next step if what's being lived clearly points in two different directions? Which is nothing new to our everyday life and world. I believe we have more choices then Google has answers. We live and breathe in so much information that our insights are clogged like a neighborhood lake. Being a daily writer I couldn't just let the opening sentences of being held under water sit there and wait for a drought. I'm not sure if you've seen a how most baptisms are brought to life these days but at Elevation it's not just the student and the campus minister. It's three people. Once you are laid back into the openness of a public confession two people are there to help guide your body back to the strength of your feet. So in writing about being under water you have to ask if it was a learning point of not knowing what's around us? That too often we get locked in on what we think all of this is supposed to mean without attempting to rely on those who've dedicated their present steps to lifting you to a better place. I also wondered if the moment truly was about the campus minister and the student, why wasn't the one being baptized helping to lift his own body above the water? These are two very important points that require the ability of activating a choice. If your decision is to stay beneath the water eventually you'll run out of air. Being lifted to a new life isn't a solo sport. It requires the awareness of all things that made the moment and participation in the process is essential to growth. Think about how your every day moves through its motions and emotions. I hear people all the time complaining about being held back or down and they feel as if there's no life left in their dreams. Open your eyes and see if there are dedicated and determined people around you to help lift your spirit back to into place. If it's a situation of you and the boss or coworker, work together in rebuilding. You can't and won't find victory and or success being "I"
