Death in the Deep
By Daniel, AZ
Have you ever faced what you thought was certain death? I have. Once when I was little, I was swimming in Mexico. I went a little too far out, and the undertow "tripped" me. I was covered in water.
I was so little, the water swirled me around. I thought I was going to pop out in the middle of the ocean. I was really scared, so I opened my eyes for some reason. All I saw was sand and water swirling around me.
I was running out of breath, so I closed my eyes and thrashed around. When I felt my feet touch the ground, I pushed up. I shot out of the water and took a gulp of the fresh air. I was on the shore. I went to our towel and dried and washed my self off.
My little brother was hysterical. He said I looked so funny thrashing around. I wanted to knock his teeth out. My mom didn't let me though. In that span of time, I wasn't thinking about God, but God remembered me.
Prayer: God, please forgive me for not thinking about you all the time, and taking you for granted, even though you always think about me.
