Thankful

Believe it or not, I am thankful. Maybe from my last two posts you could be led to think I'm not. But I am. And extremely so.

Today I'm thankful for the glimpse God gave me of what He has in mind for me - of my purpose (beyond being Wife & Mom-extraordinaire). It was only a small blink of an instant in the midst of my wonderful afternoon of adult conversation with a bunch of beautiful ladies. But that was enough. 

Enough to excite me to continue down the path He has been leading me on recently.  And now He has brought me to the point where I feel like I am on the brink of something - obviously I'm not sure what yet, but that's how it works, isn't it? haha Kind of like when you're about to get to the edge of a deep canyon.  You know the view will be awesome once you get there and look down.

But you have to actually get up TO the edge to see this breath-taking view. You have to take the risk. Push the envelope....or, push your toes up to where they don't really want to go.

What if the edge gives way? Oh my! Or what if I trip on something (or, better yet, on nothing but air) on my way TO the edge and down I tumble.  You don't ever see THAT on Funniest Home Videos do you???

I am not usually a 'stand on the edge' kind of person. No way. I play it safe. What if that edge did give way? What if I did trip?  Cuz I've tripped before you know.  On nothing.

So God is stretching me...pulling me out of my comfort-zone.  Pulling me past the 'what ifs'.  And for that I am thankful.

Pull, God, pull.

Take me to the place I haven't been able to find on my own - to where I can see the beauty You have waiting for me.
