During my last post: it hit me… It’s all about leaping.
Life that is… It is all about leaps of faith. Taking a leap of faith and trusting God enough to allow him to fill in the details during your journey to your destination.
I am currently reading the book In the Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day. It walks through God sized situations where the normal person would run away… Or be cowardice however, lion chasers take the opportunity to dive into something bigger than they can explain.
It’s the truth. We have to take the leap. After my MTH experience: I have dramatically changed my approach to life. I wanted to change where I was in life… But I had no idea how to get to my end result. My ideas seemed lofty when spoken out loud. I want to make over my wardrobe… I want to travel across country and speak to women, youth, churches and in streets about the incredible work that God has done in my life! I had these God sized dreams planted in my heart… However, for some reason when I went to tell others about buying a trailer or hitching up and traveling across country the plans and ideas immediately began to lose their luster. These incredible ideas began to look like crazy ideas. People say that sounds nice! They give me a nod…
I realize they sound unrealistic. However, deep in my heart: I know they are realistic. I just have NO idea how to get there!
Lately, I have taken small steps: my book? Well, I am beginning to write every other day. I have a word document and I pray and whatever God places on my heart: I write. It seems so mundane… So silly. However, I am starting to realize those things are good things! And slowly my vision of my book is taking form all by itself.
Needs are being met.
My dreams that sounded crazy: dreams that lacked vision… Are now becoming clear.
But the more I walk down this journey… The more I realize it’s all about leaping.
A challenge to myself… Maybe to you too… Is how are you leaping?
You make my heart leap!!! Love you V!!
Lara, YOU are such a blessing and inspiration to so many!! Thank you for going down the unknown path long before any of us ever dreamed of it. Thank you!
Thank you so much it sharing this perspective. I found myself in a similar life state {wanting to change where I was at in life but not knowing how} before I attended MTH NC. Since then approaching life differently has opened doors to new ideas that are attainable and I have found a team of support for those ideas and framework is being discussed and laid one baby step at a time. Great job on sticking to your guns {big ideas} I can’t wait to see where God leads you! Beat of luck
Yay!! I am SO proud of you! YOU WILL do awesome things! Keep up the hard work. May doors continue to be opened.
Victoria! You are such an amazing young woman! Gives me goosebumps.
Here’s a little something I have learned over the past year, take it with a grain of salt…
Don’t share your ideas until you have that TAKEN the action to make them happen, because that little bit of negativity and the blank stares…well, they just make you want to give up. Those friends and family closest to you may be the harshest, find those that will support your dreams! You are EXTRAordinary, friend. GO, pray, keep ACTING! That action gives you the confidence to shout from the rooftops. Big hugs. SO proud of you!
