As I watched Connor jumping in the pool to Derek this past weekend, I couldn’t help but think about faith. Connor has absolute 100% trust and faith that his daddy is going to catch him every single time. There isn’t a doubt in his mind. He doesn’t wonder if this will be the time his daddy will drop him. He doesn’t worry that he might get water in his nose. He doesn’t wonder if he will get hurt. He just jumps with reckless abandon. That’s the kind of faith I want to have in the Lord. All too often my faith gets clouded. I start thinking that I can control things. I start to get scared. I start to lose faith and wonder if God really has a place and a plan for me. I forget that no matter what, my Jesus will always catch me. He’s there with outstreched arms, just waiting for me to jump. Faith like a child. No worries, no stress. Just trusting.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do and he will direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
Awesome blog…Awesome photo.
It’s great to have so many family members with faith in God. We can always keep each other pointed in the right direction. Thanks for your thoughts today!!
Aw meg.. you are a smart and strong woman. I totally understand the doubt. But you’ve got to trust 🙂
This is dead on…and the picture is perfect for it. I have serious problems w/ this…with trust in general. But you are right, and thanks for reminding me. =)
