When love says go and we listen to the nudgings of our hearts from God, our ways often appear crazy. Others shake their heads at our risky steps forward, and often we ourselves have our doubts about our choices too! Don't be surprised that your ways may not always seem to make sense when you start to walk forward. Even the apostle Paul says that God made foolish the wisdom of the world! (1 Corinthians 1:20). God often calls people to follow Him without knowing clearly what is ahead. I so often think of Abraham, who as an elderly man, headed off into the desert in faith and love for God.
These days I am excited for several of my friends who are taking "crazy" steps forward, trusting the still and quiet voice of their hearts and beings. Although often we never really have complete assurance in our steps forward, I so respect my friends for taking the "road less taken" in their life journeys. What an adventure to take those risks of the heart! Yes, in those risky steps we are more open to disappointment and pain, but in the perspective of the whole of life, how wonderful to be open to living life fully and richly in faith and perseverance.
My friends, I am inspired by your crazy steps forward in loving faith! I am full of joy and hope as you take the high road, following your hearts in God. My love and prayers are with you with much respect, standing with you in both the challenging and wonderful times ahead. May you know God's tender love and care as you step out in faith.
