Bungee Jumping

I want to share what I have learned.  Around this time last year, I had a picture of where I thought my life was headed.  There were struggles, sure, but I knew where I was going.  Then, things and people in my life started peeling away to where it seemed that it was just my husband and I–all alone in the world.

As more and more things exited from our lives, my husband and I were looking at each other, wondering what was happening.  Then, some new opportunities opened up, which led to some new friendships and business relationships.  Now my life is going in an entirely different direction and my world is on the increase!

I admit, it got kind of dark for a while and I was starting to wonder if I was doing it all wrong.  I had changed a lot over the last few years so it made sense that my friendships would change, but to have them all go away was a bit daunting.  I am a born again Christian and as things continued to exit from my life, I continued to believe God had his hand on me.  Enter Faith.  Faith that whatever was going on, He had the big picture in mind and I had to trust that this was so.

When I finally let go–took my hands off of everything and just trusted that God truly was manifesting the next part of his plan for my life–it was such a relief not to be trying to do it all myself.  I am grateful for the opportunity to experience this.  It was a lot like bungee jumping–down, down, down wondering if I will be caught up before I splat onto the bottom.

God is my bungee.  He was there all along even when it seemed that I was there by myself–He was there and when it seemed that all was lost, He caught me up and showed me a life more abundant than the one I could create for my self.

For a long time I thought I was the only one in my presentheart.  I visit there from time to time, but God is the permanent resident of my presentheart.

Let God be there for you in your presentheart.  He won’t let you down.  Ever.
