This summer holds opportunites for me to stretch my comfort zone and continue to open up my world view. I feel as though God is on the brink of breaking open something in me. Though I think that each time we allow our world view to be widened God always breaks open something new within our hearts. We have to make room for all of the people our world view will now be encompassing so naturally we as individuals must shift to accomodate that change.
I just pray that I allow myself to be open enough to whatever God is on the brink of in me, that it does not just break in evenly and slowly, but that it may burst through me and engulf my very being. I want to be surrounded by this "newness" so that it may become my reality. It has been said that it is best just to dive straight in to a pool instead of immersing yourself step by step. I believe this, I always have. I think that if we are opening ourselves to a change that we know God has intended for us then why be hesitant? Why take it one step at a time? Why not just jump in and believe that the faith He has given us is enough, because it is.
I am nervous though, I am scared. I will be standing on the edge of my diving board with my knees shaking, but still I will stand there determined to embrace whatever the Almighty has in store. I am someone who loves change. It is scary, true. But when it is a change that you know has to happen for the greater good then it is exciting because all you know is that whatever the unknown may be it is going to improve things. What is there not to look forward to abou that? I know this summer is going to improve me, improve my faith, and therefore improve my life. So I wait with my knees shaking just preparing for the moment when I can take a deep breath and plunge into what lies ahead.
