I am sure most have you have either heard a story like this or have experienced it for yourself but I thought I would say it again, even if it is just a reminder. Maxson has started walking, which is so much fun to watch. His eyes sparkle with joy and with determination as he takes his steps toward his destination. His arms are wide open being carefree and he is taking all the newness with such enthusiasm. He can’t get enough. I love the smile on his face when he makes it to where he wanted to go. Now he does fall down a lot and there is some crying involved on some of those falls, but he gets back up and keeps on trying. One thing I have noticed when watching him, is that in those sparkling, joyful eyes there is no fear. He keeps trying to accomplish the goal or path before him and is not deterred. Fear never enters his mind. Fear doesn’t take over and hold him back from taking those steps even if there is a huge chance that he will fall.
Do we as the church have no fear when it comes to taking those steps with God? Do we have the sparkle and joy in our eyes when we step out onto the path He has for us? Do we have the determination and carefree attitude to keep getting back up when we fall and continue on to that destination? I know that it isn’t always easy and it is scary sometimes but…“Fear not for I am with you.” Isaiah 41:10
Love, Steph
