Shining My Light

I am writing this, my Loves, so that you might be encouraged to choose to take the always awesome, always adventurous path thru life that I was led to. Though, at first, it appeared to be the least exciting, the most difficult, and certainly inconsistent with the direction of the world, the further along the path I travel, the more comfortable it becomes and the more sure I am that it is the way. At first I was lured down the alternate very Wide World Highway by promises of instant satisfaction, but, after several crashes and many close calls, I have learned to use my spiritual GPS and get myself back on track. It's faith that keeps me on the straight and narrow and it's daring to live life by faith that makes it, not only possible, but exciting, and fun. I feel obliged to warn you that taking those first couple plunges in faith feels like jumping free fall out of a plane but, as a happy survivor of many faith plunges, I am telling you with confidence and love, that walking, and sometimes jumping free fall, in faith gets easier and the consequences become more and more awesome. I am sharing with you a few of the stories of how I learned that taking world defying plunges into faith is the way to get the most out of this little visit we have here on Earth, praying that you decide to jump right in. Stopping to rest along the way, I look back at my journey to realize that not one of the lessons I learned along the way had not already been described in God's Word.
