I wrote this some years ago, but i felt like i needed to hear it again, to remind me of the many paths i have taken to get to where i am today an also, most importantly to secure me in that which brought me here. My faith. As our everyday life changes, sometime we can lose focus, sometimes people and things cloud our minds, injure our spirits and makes us feel lost. But that is the time i lean on everything that i know and feel, and trust...my faith.
Small Steps….

There is a figurine I bought some years ago…of a little girl, taking a step, with her arms out to her side, and her eyes closed. I have loved this piece…because it reminds me of sometimes what we must do, to get to the other side.
A blind man on the train, is making his way to his destination, sight unseen. I overhear him tell another man where he needs to go, but the other man said, he wasn’t going that way. So the blind man said," it’s okay, there will be somebody to lead me"….and there was.
Faith, is sight unseen. Faith requires us to step out, with eyes closed, not knowing what obstacles or bumps, or the dangers that lie ahead of us. Faith begets of us to go there with eyes closed. See sometimes with our eyes open, we may not get to where we need to get to in life, because we will see the obstacles, see the mountains, see the valleys and seek refuge from it. Refuge doesn’t allow us to grow into who we are meant to be, but refuge is safe.
Faith is Gods way of saying “Thy will be Done”, not your will, his will in your life.
I’m closing my eyes now and stepping out on Faith, like the blind man, I won’t worry too much, there too will be somebody to lead me.

Faith, when we allow ourselves to lean on it... the unthinkable becomes our realities and to God we owe it all.
A powerful, empowering share.
With this post,all I can say is let the church say amen!
If only we were born with the FAITH inherent in those who can not see.
Life often requires us to walk w/ eyes closed, to be not be so sure of our footing, and to allow our wits & faith to lead us. It can be very scary, in fact, mad scurry, but it's also thrilling or can be.
I wish you are the thrills you can stand & all the FAITH that you can muster!
