Belaying

Trust is an exercise of faith.

There are some steps that we need to take

that sound scary and look scary

because they are scary.

I remember a time when I had to step backward off the side of a cliff.

I had to trust the rope and my friend that had me on belay.

Memories of triumphant moments encourage and strengthen us.

Without challenges we would never experience the thrill of conquering.

Today I’m going to be wild and crazy.

I’m going to trust God to enable us 

to complete the construction phase of a dream.

Then I’m going to trust Him 

while I step backward over the edge to live my dream.
