GIANT Leap of Faith!

Y'all like this picture?

This is the cliff I just jumped off of! Figuratively, of course, but I did in fact just take the most giant leap of faith that I have ever taken!

For awhile now, I have wondered why I do what I do...I used to love my work and love everyone involved, but for the past year or so, I have not had my heart in what I am doing. Especially since my dad died...I have wondered, am I happy where I am, or do I need to make a change?

So I committed this to prayer...and recent weeks have brought me to where I stand (or float, since I just jumped and have not landed yet...) right now. If it started with my dad's death, it culminated into something that overtook my heart when my best friend's dad died three weeks ago. I thought about life, and living it to the fullest, doing what God wants me to do.

After much prayer, I clearly heard God say, "Go ahead and jump...I am already building the ground that you will land on. When you are ready to land, the foundation will be there".

So, with no definite plans for the future, I resigned from my job this past Friday. I know, in logic, it makes no sense. The economy stinks, the job market stinks, have I lost my mind?

But in God's plan, it makes perfect sense. I trust Him to show me where to go and what to do. I do have a prospect that I believe is straight from Him, and it is something that I long to do.

Some have asked me if I am leaping into full time ministry - I'd like to think that we as Christians are all already in full time ministry. But I know what they mean..this time will also give me time to work on my CD and some other projects I have had on my heart.

I pray that you all will listen closely to God's voice and hear Him clearly...and not be afraid to jump!

It's definitely what's on my mind today!
