Can you float on your back?

I know that may sound like an odd question to ask in a need greater blog site but hear me out.

The past couple of months since coming home from our trip, Bethel Visits and the International Convention I must say I have struggled with getting back into a routine after 3 months away. For me I didnt really know where I belonged. I felt there was so many things to do and see in Jehovah's organisation at this time of the end, that quite frankly I became overwhelmed. 

Dont get me wrong, I was zealous but when we got bacl there was so much "noise" or problems going and I was under major attack!   I started to second guess myself. Could I continue to pioneer? Why does Jehovah need me? Should I take it easier? 

The scripture in Deuteronomy 30:11 “Now this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it beyond your reach... "
Reminded me also of the text found in 1 Corinithians about being tempted beyond we can bear, which then posed the next question - whats my limit? and does it matter what my limit is? 

Interestingly I came across this Watchtower that we studied in June. The simlified version stated the following: 

"Beg Jehovah for his support, having faith that he will help you. Tell him your fears and worries. After all, it is Jehovah who gave you this assignment, and you can be sure that he will help you to succeed. How? In the same ways that he helped Moses. First, Jehovah promises: “I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.” (Isaiah 41:10) Second, he reminds you that you cantrust his promises: “I have spoken, and I will bring it about. I have purposed it, and I will also carry it out.” (Isaiah 46:11) Third, Jehovah gives you “the power beyond what is normal” to succeed in your assignment. (2 Corinthians 4:7) Fourth, to help you endure in your assignment, our caring Father gives you a worldwide brotherhood of true worshippers who “keep encouraging one another and building one another up.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11) When Jehovah gives you what you need to succeed in your assignments, your faith in him will become stronger. As a result, you will value the assignments you receive more than anything the world could offer you."

So what does all of this have to do with being able to float on your back? Well Only two things are really need to float - water and you. You also need a measure of faith when you first start to learn to float. The water may splash your face a few times you may even get nervous and start to sink. But then suddenly you lay back close your eyes and relax knowing you are doing everything right and then you realise you are floating! The feeling is amazing! 

Floating on your back is alot like trusting Jehovah, its scary when you first start out and you could have a few false starts and sink. But do not give up! Jehovah will ensure you do not sink, and that is an amazing feeling, when you let go and leave it up to him!

So here I am still pioneering and loving it with ever so much zeal and determination to continue in this grand privilege! I will share some of these wonderful experiences in my next post!
