I have a sign hanging in my home (in the bathroom to be exact, even though people find that to be an odd place for this message … but that’s another story) that says: “Faith is being sure of what you hope for.”
Faith means different things to different people — in a religious context or a more general sense. Whether you have a deep-rooted religious faith … or just a faith (that’s really just a faint hope) that everything will be okay, odds are you have some level of faith in your life.
And, I happen to think that sometimes the best things in life happen because people take a leap of faith. Not knowing exactly how things will turn out; rather, as my sign says, that they’ll turn out how you hope. So, periodically, I’m going to write about leaps of faith that worked out really well for the people involved. I truly believe that sometimes people just need a little nudge to take that next step. But the result can radically change their lives. I hope that my musings will inspire others to take that next step … to go down the unpaved road … to take that leap of faith.
Stay tuned for more in the coming days …
