Life is continuous. Sometimes it catches me off guard, or sometimes, I just feeling like sitting and watching it pass. But regardless it keeps moving. Caught in the midst of these ebbs and flows, I have being testing how much my faith can support me.
Youth seems to be a combination of limited perspective and too much emotion housed in a shell that constantly feels under pressure. Somehow the first shadows of a thought seem to have penetrated my heart.
Faith has always been very similar to rock climbing in my mind. The understanding that the only way out is over the scary ledge and down. Faith always seemed like it was that moment when you step over and take the plunge. Taking a leap of faith is all I have ever thought of it as.
But maybe it’s just a little bit more than that. What if faith, or a complete trust in Heavenly Father wasn’t just submission. Maybe we show our faith in him by letting go of disbelief in ourselves. Or rather, sometimes it is appropriate to create things from within ourselves to have faith in.
All creatures of our God and King.
Lift up your voice and with us sing
Make music for thy God to hear.
This is perhaps the most beautiful thing you have ever written!!
ReplyDeleteI definitely needed to hear this. You have this gift, you know, of saying/writing exactly what people need. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's opposition in all things Sophie. I also have the gift of going for centuries with out even touching Percy's Pig Pen as you well know :) but I couldn't live with myself any longer for I knew I owed it to you!
ReplyDeleteAileen, that is the highest compliment anyone has ever paid me. Obviously you bring out anything good in this old three foot high furry body of mine!
