I almost wish at times I still had the bravery to face life the way I used to as a small girl. I swear it would be so much easier sometimes but then I remember as a small child my faith was only developing.
The innocence that came from being a child and how unaware of the dangers that some situations came with, I guess we're a blessing in disguise at the time. I am certain it was the way God protected us before we even knew what faith was yet, I miss the innocence of not knowing or caring.
That steep road I wanted to skate down, That tall tree I refused to come down from, That pool that didn't look too deep, That animal that I wanted to hug, And the endless boundary-pushing of anything that brought a thrill.
Maybe it was the rush you get just before you are about to jump I liked the most or maybe it was not knowing the outcome. All I know now is that I miss the bravery that came with it all. But things are different now that I have my faith. I now replace the bravery I need for those moments in God's hands, knowing very well he will protect me just as he did as a small child closing her eyes about to jump.
I know until you fully let go you'll never truly trust God or the choices he makes for you. So, if you ever find yourself doubting him or your faith remember what it was like to be a child about to jump into that pool, off the ledge into the pillow fortress you just built, or riding your bike faster that day.
Because God was there on those days too. Guiding you to a safe landing just as he will now.
Safe Landings...
