Leap Of Faith...
Have you ever found yourself at that point where you are standing at the edge and you get the urge just to step back and take a flying leap into the air and the unknown? Have you ever felt that feeling that acompanies the rush of air past your ears, the feeling of nothingness beneath your feet, and the thought of "I'm Flying." Have you ever taken that leap of faith knowing that there was something else out in front of you, knowing that you could do it, dispite whatever "it" was. Have you ever taken that leap into space? Have you ever knowen what it was like to throw caution to the wind and trust that God would keep you from falling? Have you ever found yourself there? There is no other feeling like it... It's almost addicting, an adreniline rush that puts all other feelings to shame.
Unfortunatly like most great feelings its all to short lived, and as reality hits and we realise that we are about to fall, terror often strikes. We fall, arms flailing, legs churning, grasping the air for anything to help break the fall, anything to keep the enevidable from taking place. It is here that our heart stops dead, pain grabs your chest as you know the bottom is coming up and that the unyielding ground is going to bring you to a sudden stop and that it will hurt.
It's funny that that whole sequence can take place in a few short seconds, It's nice to know that I have a Father that is always there and able to catch me....
