Oh ye of little faith...

I was on Facebook today, and there was this picture of my friend's son, laying flat on the see-through floor in the Sear's Tower in Chicago, looking in amazement at the ground beneath him. If that floor broke, there would be certain death.

And as I looked at that picture, I was just amazed how he had no fear. None. He was just there chillin' on the floor.

I admired his brazen ability to look at the ground below in wonder, and thought "what a perfect analogy to how I should look at my future in Christ."

While God doesn't promise a life without hardships and struggle, He does promise a life with Him, and we can be secure in that. Too many times, I look at my future as a single woman in her 30s and I feel fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of losing my job. Fear of losing my friends. Fear of heartbreak. Fear that all these floors of glass I have set my hopes and dream on, will break

So, today, I want to face my future like I'm just chillin' on a glass floor. Not scared, not fearful, without apprehension. Thanks Adlai for such a perfect picture of faith.
