Dictionary.com defines the word leap as "to spring through the air from one point or position to another". Dictionary.com defines the word faith as "belief that is not based on proof".
So putting those to together means that you are springing up and over to another place without knowing for sure what is there waiting for you. That is what my husband and I are doing in these next couple of weeks. God has called and we have answered! We are not really sure what is in store for us but we are taking that leap of faith, trusting that He will be there to catch us!
I have always loved the game "leap frog", I loved playing it as a child! So much fun! I have even played it underwater with my campers at camp during a water carnival! That sure was interesting! Sometimes though, leaping into the unknown can be scary! Especially when it means moving away from all your friends, family and all you hold dear to the other side of North America to answer a call! It would not be a leap of faith if there wasn't that element of trust, knowing that everything is going to be ok the other side when your feet hit the ground again! Some would say that is the best part; the thrill of the unknown! Me, I'm a planner, not always...but when it comes to my life I like to have everything mapped out (or at least somewhat). This past year God certainly threw a curve ball in, and I am sure he giggled a few times watching me scrabble as I missed the catch! Though during times of "unknown" and the curve balls is when I find myself growing the most in my faith...so in the end I am thankful for them.
I am a planner, most of the time but other times I too like to take part in a great adventure and experience the thrill of free falling! And right now I am feeling like a good adventure, and it's a good thing because I think one is right around the corner! Buckle up, it's going to be a good one!
