Fresh!

Change, while at times frightening, can be exhilarating! I look at change as an adventure that can only bring something better in it’s wake than there was before. How can anything really be worth having if there wasn’t some kind of ‘risk’ involved? In the middle of a free-fall, I doubt that an avid sky-diver says “God, just let me live through this and my feet will never leave the earth again. I will NEVER try this again. EVER.” At least one that loves his sport wouldn’t be overheard saying those things.

So here’s me, mid free-fall, feeling every bit vulnerable, but exhilarated to the core at what God’s got up His sleeve!  This freedom is only available to those relying on Him for everything. Even if the earth and I make unexpected contact,  God always has a plan. . . . and His are inevitably better than mine, and certainly more dependable than the best parachute manufactured. I’m learning to leave the map as well as the strategy to Him, cause I KNOW I’ll screw it up.

“Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.” –Helen Keller

So, enjoy the spectacle if there is one. . . . .

. . . . and amidst all this chaos. . . God loves me. . .
