On the Edge

Every felt like you were "on the edge" .... of "something"?  But you were really uncertain what that "something" was?  Did you fight it?  Did you go with it?  Did you hesitate and ask questions?  Did you pause and begin to search inward for some clarity?

If you thought you knew what it was that you needed to do but found that you balked ... again and again - what happened next?  Where did you go from there?  To God?  What if you believed you knew what God was saying but you still had trouble following through?

Why do we make things like this so damn hard sometimes?  Is it courage we are lacking?  Is it fear ..... that we "don't" know what's going to happen next?  Or that we won't like it?

Or is it fear that we "do" know what's going to happen next?  (Really?)  Do any of us really know what's going to happen next?  I don't think so - not completely anyway.  I think we want to believe we know, or maybe we are afraid that we might know, or maybe we are afraid that we don't know - and then, we are just afraid - period!

Don't know about you - but I hate that place!  So, why is it that I can find myself there sometimes --- up there, like the image.  Teetering on the edge - frozen with fear - STUCK !

Sometimes we just have to pray for the courage, pray for the ability to DO - to trust God more fully - WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT .... and then, trust God some more and just JUMP!
