I find there are moments in life when we are presented with a new direction, exciting and filled with great opportunities. It stirs the heart and demands a response. It evokes excitement, nervousness, maybe even re-ignites the child in us, who wants to rush in head first. Drop what you are doing and spontaneously follow your heart... yes/no?
What do we do? In most cases, rightly we weigh it up, look at the opportunity, the practicalities and financial implication, the impact on family and work etc. Making the informed decision, planned and well executed, this we are taught results in success. Yes, in most cases this is very true and is definitely the route to take. However, there are times when taking our courage by the throat and just do it,let life open door never thought possible. A step of faith into a God given opportunity.
My young couple packed up bought a car and caravan and set off to experience work and travel round Australia, you go guys; a dear friend who takes a stirring from God and comes to Africa ends running an orphanage; cousins who trave,l shoe string style and see the world and their lives are changed forever. What am I prepared to respond to when the opportunity presents itself? In life, in love, in work, in relationships ...
