Leap of Faith

Here's the scary part about following your dreams: taking the first leap of faith into the unknown. I freak out every time I make a new decision, and I'm uneasy and filled with self-doubt until I realize that everything is going to be okay. It's kind of like when I first moved to Austin and signed a lease without having a job lined up- it was a haphazard decision made on a whim, but it was a move in the right direction towards everything that God wanted to accomplish in my life.

And guess what? It doesn't stop there. We are constantly having to make those jumps and leaps of faith if we are to fulfill the purposes He has in our lives. The important thing to know is that no matter what happens, even if we fail, God's got our back. He uses all our decisions, good and bad, for His purposes. So we need not be afraid to make the wrong decisions. Even if our dreams don't end up as we originally thought, God still uses those experiences to teach us a valuable lesson that we couldn't learn any other way.

“The best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.” -Theodore Roosevelt

So I'm taking the leap of faith and jumping once again. I am afraid. I am anxious. And I am trusting His sovereign plan.
