Reflections 10/19/2020: DANG! I cannot look at this picture without hyperventilating and feeling an aching adrenalin rush strangling the arches of my feet! (Why that?) And WHY would anyone put themselves in that position? Even mountain goats would think twice about this route to nowhere! Makes me want to cry! (Why that?) Hmmm… maybe it transports me back to the times in my life where I felt hopeless and stuck. Exposed. Terrified. Left with no options. Felt like the end of the world at that moment. But somehow I/we survived, Lord. Even eventually thrived. Log enough of those crisis moments over the years and you gain confidence to face that seemingly option-less stuckness with courage! 🎶 “God will make a way, when there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see. He will make a way for me. He will be my Guide. Hold me closely to His side. With love and strength for each new day, He will make a way!” 🎶 Some of these songs can seem smultzy and trite… that is until you’ve found yourself stranded on such an exposed precipice and seen You, God come to the rescue! So maybe the tears are from fear… but also from tremendous gratefulness for these teetering ledge liberations!
