One way or.........

I don't know too many people who wouldn't tell you that as a child they loved to swing. I think if I was allowed I could have been on the swing for hours. I always like to see how high I could get, but I'd never follow through with it because I was scared of heights and even though the swing set seemed like it was strong enough I never fully put my trust in it. In the back of my mind I would think that something would give and I'd fall or the swing would break. Yes these are the thoughts that tend to run through my mind.

Something in the last sentence is still so very real and true in my life today. Letting go and trusting. Not being able to put my full trust into something or someone. It's human nature for sure, some of us trust people 100% in the beginning till they give you a reason not to trust them. Others don't trust till it's earned. For me, it depends on the situation and the person. But lately, I've had a hard time finding a balance between the two. I want to trust, but in my mind I'm back on the swing, wanting to go as high as I can, but not being able to trust that the swing would hold out.

My trust issues have been encouraged this past week with answers to prayer. Not for me, but for other people in my life. I am so excited to celebrate these blessings and answers to prayer. It reminds me that I need to keep moving forward, to pray, to swing as high as I can and to not be afraid. How high is your swing going to take you?
