Jumping Into The Unknown




October of 2021 I began working again for the first time in over 8 years. It is sad to leave this season of being home and caring for my kids. Before I left for my first day back to work I found a memory journal of a few excerpts I wrote that I treasure of my kids. It was perfect timing for me to find that journal. I wish I had written down more memories but I was grateful I wrote some of these moments down. I love my babes so much!

I felt like I was jumping out of a plane with a parachute on this day. So much of life is like that. Anytime we step into unknown or new experiences we feel this feeling of jumping out of a plane. The fear of jumping, the fear of the unknown, may keep us from jumping all together. Then it hit me that I was focusing on the unknown entirely too much! I needed to focus on what I do know in order to have the faith to jump. 

1. I do know that God opened these doors for me to walk through. 

2. I do know he has brought me through the unknowns before and come through with a refined strength.

3. I do know I am given an opportunity to be another light in these student’s lives. 

So here I go into the unknown clinging to what I do know…1, 2, 3 . . . JUMP!!!!

Turns out…I like skydiving!
