In life, we are at times confronted with
the need to take a secular or a spiritual
leap of faith. Faced with such a defining
moment, whether self-created or forced
by circumstance, we often find ourselves
hog-tied, unable to proceed, impeded by
our conflicting desire for safety and clarity.
In the corporate world we called this
“analysis paralysis,” causing many an
opportunity to slip by during the wait.
With relationships, it results in an our
inability to make a full and lasting
commitment, sometimes failing to
capture the moment, and by doing so,
numbing the passion. In our spiritual
life, we hesitate, waiting for our true
calling, delaying the inevitable, even
as we trip over the obvious clues
and guidance.
With Ann and me, it is the timing of
actual retirement that has become
our defining moment, resulting in
the guidance provided below.
LEAP OF FAITH
Often we must take the leap of faith,
unsure of where we will land, knowing
only our true trajectory will be revealed
when we believe and trust enough,
to thrust into the unknown, taking God’s
hand in ours without hesitation.
Often we pause, not from lack of faith,
but from fear of the unknown, as our
minds, stirring a mix of doubt and
apprehension, concocted to muddle
our intentions, work to weight our
feet and thwart our ascent with this
confusion.
Often the best course of action is
to leap before we look, hog–tying
the internal and external naysayers,
keeping our eyes on the intended prize,
reminding ourselves that God wants
us to win, to thrive, to succeed at living;
and will, without doubt, ensure a safe
landing.
