I can relate to this verse since the time I was growing up we lived by big lakes in Texas and Oklahoma.

Even though I was the only one who never learned to swim, I learned to water ski on Wewoka Lake. I wasn’t scared to learn because I trusted my dad. To be around water always has soothed my soul.
