What is a leap of faith? It comes in many forms, and guaranteed it will not be a once in a lifetime occurrence. The leap that has had the most impact in our lives so far is leaving behind university, in search of a different way to make it through this weird world. For us, the only way we were going to survive this leap of faith was to whole heartedly trust in God.
We are not preaching that you open your Bible and all your problems will be solved; leaping with faith requires a lot of meditation on verses like Isaiah 41:10 'So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.' So although your mountains don't magically disappear, He will always equip you with everything you need to get through every season of life. It takes strength, patience, and a whole lot of discipline to keep your mind focused on above rather than, drowning in worry about finding your own path without the backing of university.
How many times a day do you look at your phone? We're finding one of the best reminders can be in the form of a home screen wallpaper. These are ours currently;
Its there for a pick up of encouragement and a kick up the bum out of the blues, every time you look at your phone.
Though hard to always understand His plan- it will be best for you in the long term, even if at the time it is not what you have in mind for yourself. Whether it be rejection from a job, loosing a friend, or ending a relationship, they all take great leaps of faith to trust its the right thing in God's plan.
A book Lucy Lu is reading touches upon this.
'Father sat down on the edge of the narrow bed. "Corrie," he began gently, "when you and I go to Amsterdam - when do I give you your ticket?"
I sniffed a few times, considering this.
"Why , just before we get on the train"
"Exactly. And our wise Father in Heaven knows when we're going to needs things, too. Don't run out ahead of Him, Corrie. When the time comes that some of us will have to die you will look into your heart and find the strength you need - just in time"

Leaps of Faith take courage. In His perfect timing, God will have you prepared for the next step. Worrying is only human and natural, but it takes a lot of will power to remember it will all be okay. Not to quote High School Musical, but we're all in this together, and promise, it will all work out for good. - Lucy & Ellie x
